Paddack (3-1) picked up the win in Monday's 4-0 victory over the Mets, scattering four hits and a walk over 7.2 scoreless innings while striking out a career-high 11.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie was simply brilliant in a clash with reigning NL Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom and reigning NL Rookie of the Month Pete Alonso, generating a massive 21 swinging strikes among his 91 pitches (66 total strikes). Paddack allowed only one runner to even reach scoring position, and he now boasts a 1.55 ERA and 46:10 K:BB through 40.2 innings. With Cal Quantrill getting another start Tuesday and an off day coming Thursday, Paddack appears set to get some extra rest before taking the mound again next week on the road against the Dodgers.

Paddack will require workload management throughout the season, with the starter targeting 130 to 150 innings, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack threw 90 minor-league innings last season, his first after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The Padres elected to start him on the big-league roster despite limited experience in the upper minors in order to avoid wasting his innings this season, and he's rewarded the team so far, recording an excellent 1.91 ERA in six starts. The innings target was given by the pitcher himself, as the Padres haven't specifically laid out their plan for the young hurler. So far, the plan has seemed to involve a pitch count (he's yet to throw 90 pitches) and a temporary six-man rotation, but changes could come down the stretch, especially if the Padres appear to be in line for a playoff berth.

Paddack (2-1) picked up the win against the Braves on Tuesday, giving up two earned runs on four hits over six innings, striking out five and walking one as the Padres won 4-3.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie continues to look like an ace in the early going, as his latest sharp outing moves his ERA to 1.93 and his WHIP to 0.70 through 33 innings. Perhaps most impressively, he's holding opponents to a minuscule .126 batting average, with only 14 hits allowed over his six starts. Paddack is scheduled to take the mound next on the road against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Paddack (1-1) got the win against the Mariners on Wednesday, throwing a seven-inning shutout while allowing just one hit, striking out nine and walking one as the Padres prevailed 1-0.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack turned in a brilliant and efficient outing, needing just 83 pitches to make it through seven innings while allowing just two runners to reach base. The rookie has been a revelation so far this season, as he's now sporting a stellar 1.67 ERA, a 0.67 WHIP and a 30:8 K:BB through 27 innings. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next start, which will see him take the hill in a road matchup against the Braves on Tuesday.

Paddack (0-1) took the loss against the Reds on Thursday, giving up three earned runs on three hits over six innings, striking out five and walking one as the Padres fell 4-1.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack tossed a quality start, but his teammates could only muster up a single run of support and he eventually was tagged with the loss. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old is still off to a great start, as he's sporting a 2.25 ERA, a 0.80 WHIP and a solid 21:7 K:BB over 20 innings, while holding opponents to a .134 average. The right-hander will take the mound next at home against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Paddack didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie was in attack mode from the jump, throwing 66 of 88 pitches for strikes and starting 17 of 20 batters with first-pitch strikes, but he still got the hook before recording his first quality start. Paddack will take a sparkling 1.29 ERA and 16:6 K:BB through 14 innings into his next outing, at home Thursday against the Reds.

Paddack had his start bumped from Thursday to Friday against the Diamondbacks, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres want to provide Paddack with an additional day of rest, so Pedro Avila will be called up from Double-A Amarillo for the spot start. Paddack has 11 strikeouts and has allowed only one run on three hits across 8.2 innings during his first two starts.

Paddack gave up one run (none earned) over 3.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday. He allowed one hit and four walks while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Paddack was nicked for a run in the second inning on a Kolten Wong sacrifice fly but was lifted after walking two consecutive batters in the fourth after 89 pitches. The 23-year-old had difficulty finding the plate and will need to improve his 11:5 K:BB in order to go deeper into games. His next opportunity is currently scheduled for Thursday at Arizona.

Paddack allowed one run on two hits and a walk while taking the no-decision in Sunday's win over the Giants. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

One of the Padres' best prospects, Paddack lived up to the hype with a terrific big-league debut. The 23-year-old cruised through four innings without allowing a hit but was eventually tagged with an RBI double from Pablo Sandoval. However, he'll get a much tougher test against St. Louis on Saturday.

Paddack has been named the starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Skipper Andy Green confirmed after Monday's exhibition that Paddack would indeed make his big-league debut during opening weekend.
