Sixto Lezcano, a well-traveled outfielder, brought his talents to the San Diego Padres for a brief but impactful stint during the 1982 and 1983 seasons. Acquired in a significant trade with the St. Louis Cardinals that also involved Garry Templeton and Ozzie Smith, Lezcano quickly became a productive bat for the Padres. He demonstrated his power and on-base skills, notably putting up a .388 on-base percentage in 1982, which ranked among the league leaders. While his time in San Diego was relatively short, Lezcano's contributions helped bolster the Padres' lineup, and he continued to showcase the solid offensive and defensive abilities that characterized his major league career.
