Scouting Report

Updated May 19, 2026

Miguel Andujar, 31-year-old former Yankees standout, has emerged as a consistent and productive bat for the San Diego Padres in 2026. After a tumultuous career marked by injuries and multiple team changes (Yankees, Pirates, Athletics, Reds), Andujar has found stability in San Diego on a one-year deal with mutual option. Currently hitting .291 with 36 hits, 10 doubles, 3 home runs, and 14 RBIs, he leads the Padres with a .801 OPS and 126 wRC+. He recently extended a five-game hitting streak and has been instrumental in the Padres' push toward the NL West division lead. His aggressive approach at the plate (38.2% chase rate, 60% swing rate) has proven effective despite drawing only 3 walks in 131 plate appearances.
