Positives From This Season
Michael Wacha was able to make over 20 starts and for the most part was a reliable arm that Bob Melvin could put out there every fifth or sixth day and know he was going to be able to give San Diego 6+ innings (he did that 13 times). He allowed three or fewer earned runs in 19 of his 24 appearances this year, posting his best ERA since 2018.
“Tremendous pickup,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said about the offseason signing of Wacha.
