(Photo by Aaron Gash\/Associated Press)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By any stretch of the imagination for a player of his stature, Padres All-Star third baseman Manny Machado is in a horrendous slump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite booming a two-run, first-inning homer into the far reaches of center field at Petco Park during Tuesday night\u2019s 5-4 loss to the Dodgers, Machado is struggling with a .182 batting average, a .339 slugging percentage, a .617 OPS this season. He sports a 73 OPS+, a statistic in which 100 represents league average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Machado said Tuesday night he doesn\u2019t have a theory about what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m a baseball player, I\u2019m not a theorist,\u201d he said. \u201cYou got something for me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid the slump, it\u2019s even easier to focus on his penchant to jog out routine plays. A grounder to short? Machado reacts with a jog, not a sprint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s my sprint,\u201d Machado said. \u201cI touch first base. What else do you want me to do? I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re referring to. Running to first base is running to first base. There\u2019s guys like [Chandler] Sampson [of the Rays]; he runs to first base just like I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well not quite. Machado takes between 4.3 to 4.5 seconds to run from the right side of the plate to first base, above the league average of roughly 4.15 seconds. Sampson, to use Machado\u2019s example, runs to first base in just 3.64 to 3.90 seconds. That\u2019s a sprint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Machado cautioned to use the eye test rather than analytics.<\/p>\n<aside>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAct like a scout,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But by any measure, Machado is not giving max effort when he runs out a grounder. He believes he\u2019s saving energy, one of his former managers said, and that it functions like a governor to keep him fresh and healthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cManny posts every day,\u201d Padres manager Craig Stammen said, when asked if Machado has permission from management not to run grounders out. \u201cThat\u2019s what I respect about him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not about looks,\u201d Stammen said. \u201cIt\u2019s about production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now we get back to the heart of the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Memorial Day quickly approaching, the question is whether this is a strange anomaly or if, at 33 years old and in his 15th season, Machado is at the start of a serious decline.<\/p>\n<aside>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<aside>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The analytics website Baseball Savant indicates decline. In the three seasons since 2023, Machado\u2019s bat speed has deteriorated from 76.7 mph to 71.7 mph right now. His fast swing rate has plummeted from 66.3 mph back then to 37.2 mph now. At that rate it\u2019s almost impossible to chase 95-mph pitches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may explain why Machado is tied for 49th in the league in homers and 103rd in RBIs, hardly commensurate with his annual salary of $31.8 million a year for luxury tax purposes. The Padres are indebted to him at that rate through the 2033 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he\u2019s working on it with the coaches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on some stuff,\u201d Machado said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he wouldn\u2019t disclose any detail about the \u201cstuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not going to tell you that,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s for me to continue to work on. You don\u2019t need to know that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear, this is not to say Machado isn\u2019t working his butt off to correct his hitting problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo one sees the extra swings in the cage and extra ground balls I take,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly, that happens behind the scenes. Every world class baseball player puts in the work to maintain their status. Machado is no different.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Machado\u2019s fate right now is part of a team-wide power and offensive outage. The Padres are at the bottom or near the middle of the league in batting average (.222), OPS (.664), home runs (49), and runs scored (200).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Padres finished Tuesday night\u2019s game with 10 players used in the lineup hitting under or just above .250 and three under .200, including, of course Machado.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a wonder that they\u2019re 29-19 and playing nip and tuck with the Dodgers for first place in the National League West. That\u2019s simply not sustainable over the course of a 162-game season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fernando Tatis Jr. still hasn\u2019t hit a homer and is earning $24.3 million this season. He leads the league with 50 hard hit outs, line drives that are finding gloves rather than open green spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One would think considering the law of averages, this would eventually work itself out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Padres don\u2019t have a captain, a la Aaron Judge with the Yankees, but Machado is certainly the acknowledged team leader. The club is built around him and his 11-year, $350 million contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This current Padres team has been toughened by recent playoff failure. They know what they have to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just have to play our game,\u201d Machado said. \u201cTake it day by day. Prepare. Go out there every day and compete. We\u2019ve been doing a good job of it as a ballclub. It\u2019s been fun to be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re winning ball games; that\u2019s the most important part. I know where I\u2019m going to be by the end of the season. Other guys have been carrying the load that we haven\u2019t right now. There will come a time and place where we replace them.\u201d<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-76\" class=\"below-content widget widget_block widget_text\">\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofsandiego.com\/sports\/2026\/05\/21\/machado-padres-slump-offense-struggle\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\nSee more: https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/corinthiames.com.br\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manny Machado has started the season in a dreadful slump \u2014 unless it\u2019s a sign of lasting decline.
