(Redirected from San Diego Padres managers)

The San Diego Padres are an American professional baseball team based in San Diego. The Padres compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) West Division. The team joined MLB in 1969 as an expansion team and have won two NL Championships, in 1984 and 1998. The team played their home games at San Diego Stadium from 1969 to 2003. Starting with the 2004 season, they moved to Petco Park, where they have played since.[1] The team is owned by the estate of Peter Seidler, and A. J. Preller is their general manager.[2] There have been 21 managers for the Padres franchise.[3] The team is currently managed by Mike Shildt.[4]

The first manager of the Padres was Preston Gómez, who managed for four seasons. Bruce Bochy is the franchise's all-time leader for the most regular-season games managed (1926), the most regular-season game wins (951), the most playoff games managed (24), and the most playoff-game wins (8). Bob Skinner is the Padres' all-time leader for the highest regular-season winning percentage, as he has only managed one game, which he won. Of the managers who have managed a minimum of 162 games (one season), Jack McKeon has the highest regular-season winning percentage with .541, having managed for 357 games. Dick Williams, the only Padres manager to have been elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame,[5] is the franchise's all-time leader for the highest playoff winning percentage with .400.[3][6] Williams and Bochy are the only managers to have won an NL Championship with the Padres, in 1984 and 1998 respectively.[6] Bochy and Black are the only managers to have won a Manager of the Year Award with the Padres, in 1996 and 2010.[7] Greg Riddoch and Jerry Coleman have spent their entire managing careers with the Padres.[3]
