Chris Paddack Earns First Career Win With Masterpiece
6 years agoSan Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack collected his first career win Wednesday, spinning seven innings of one-hit ball against the Seattle Mariners. Paddack’s gem included nine strikeouts, a hit batter and just one walk as he breezed through a high-powered Seattle offense. After five starts, the 23-year-old rookie holds a superb 1.67 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 10.0 K/9. The Padres No. 5 prospect has been as good as advertised, allowing more than one run in only one outing while carrying a 3.8 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His season-long fantasy value may be impaired due to innings limitations down the stretch, but for now he is approved for use in all formats. He lines up to face the Atlanta Braves next Tuesday at SunTrust Park.
