Smash or Pass: Seth Lugo

Related Topics: Seth Lugo

He’s right-handed pitcher Seth Lugo. You may know him from this tweet. He debuted in 2016 with the Mets and spent seven years in New York before joining the Padres for the 2023 season. He’s been used as both a starter and a reliever, though the Padres exclusively pitched him out of the rotation. The assumption is he’s looking to pitch out of a rotation at his next destination.

Is he any good?

Over his eight-year career, he has an ERA of 3.50. Just about half of those innings are out of the bullpen, so that may be slightly skewed, but it’s a solid line nonetheless.
