San Diego Padres News: Wil Myers’ stats “nothing to look into”

If any player needs a bounceback year, it’s Wil Myers. The 29-year-old is coming off two lackluster seasons and entering year four of the six-year extension he signed before the 2017 season. He’s off to a terrific start this spring, slashing .421/.476/1.000 before Friday night’s game.

Myers figures to be a mainstay in right field this season, after the last couple of seasons saw him bounce all over to accommodate other players. His defense is suspect at best, but the duo of Tommy Pham and Trent Grisham occupying the two other positions should help cover a majority of the outfield.
