The Padres have managed to contend while rebuilding, led by young and exciting players, creating a balance that the underperforming Giants are currently lacking.
Just 90 plate appearances separate the San Francisco Giants from the San Diego Padres in the batter split of players 28 and younger, showcasing the stark contrast in performance.
While the Padres' younger hitters boast a strikeout rate of just 15.6%, the Giants' younger hitters struggle with a 23.8% strikeout rate and a dismal 5.9% walk rate.
Beneath these statistics, San Diego's young talent—like Jackson Merrill—stands out, indicating a strong future, whereas the Giants' youth has yet to make the desired impact.
