Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Gavin Sheets, 30-year-old left fielder for the San Diego Padres, has shown strong performance in May 2026. He recently went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and run scored against the Giants, ending a brief 0-for-9 slump. Sheets has been particularly clutch in late-inning situations, hitting a go-ahead 3-run homer in the ninth inning against the Brewers and becoming the first player in MLB history to hit three go-ahead homers of three or more runs in the ninth inning or later in a single season. Through 132 plate appearances, he's batting .240 with a .766 OPS, 6 home runs, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored, 9 doubles, and 3 steals. He's competing for playing time at first base and DH/corner outfield positions.
