Padres third baseman Sergio Alcántra just joined the team in May from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite being new, he had a lot of potential that he didn’t seem to bring with him.

He didn’t start the season well. In April, he was hitting .143/.159/.262. By May, he significantly increased those numbers to .364/.364/.545. He played three games with the Diamondbacks before joining the Padres, so his numbers may have been slightly inflated from overall lack of playing time. He played roughly half the games he did in April.

However, in June, he only played a few more games than he did in May and his numbers dropped drastically, to .138/.161/.138.

His isolated power is also currently the worst it’s ever been in his MLB career. It’s continuously gone down each season, but this season it’s a very weak .080. Though he’s not a great hitter, he showed a lot of potential starting with the Padres that completely plummeted in June.
