After winning the American League Rookie of the Year, Wil Myers was part of a monster three-team trade that sent him to San Diego for the 2015 Season.

Myers was not been the most consistent player since his arrival to the West Coast, but there have been flashes of brilliance.  An All-Star in 2016, Myers developed his power game that year, belting 28 Home Runs that year and 30 the year after.  The Centerfielder's best year to date is arguably the COVID-shortened 2020 Season, where he batted .288 with 15 Home Runs and was 16th in MVP voting.  That was Myers' best time in San Diego, as his production slipped afterward before he left for Cincinnati as a Free Agent after the 2022 Season.

Myers had 134 Home Runs and 771 Hits with the team.
