4. Phil Nevin

Nevin hit 156 home runs for San Diego, including a career-best 41 in 2001. Known for his power and ability to change games with one swing, he was the key player of the early 2000s Padres.

5. Adrian Gonzalez

From 2006 to 2010, Gonzalez was one of baseball’s best ‘first basemen’, hitting 161 homers and winning multiple ‘Gold Gloves’. His combination of power and defence made him a true franchise star.

6. Ryan Klesko

Klesko brought a reliable bat, hitting .279 with 133 homers for the Padres. His ability to hit to all fields and deliver in key moments made him a great player.

7. Nate Colbert

In the Padres’ early days, Colbert was one of the team’s first power hitters. He still holds the franchise record for home runs in a game (five) and was a three-time All-Star.

8. Wil Myers

Myers played multiple positions and gave the Padres crucial power with 134 home runs in his San Diego career. He was part of the team’s comeback into playoff contention.

9. Ken Caminiti

Caminiti was an MVP player with a .326 average, 40 homers and unmatched dedication. He carried the Padres to the 1996 playoffs and left a lasting legacy as one of their tough competitors.
