Robbie Ray’s Secret Weapon | San Diego News

Robbie Ray’s been a game-changer for the Padres since the trade deadline, pitching solidly in four starts with a 1-1 record and a 3.98 ERA—just what they needed to keep playoff hopes alive. Armed with a full arsenal including a newly mastered sinker (learned via FaceTime from Blake Treinen using a balled-up sock), Ray exemplifies how humility and curiosity can unlock elite performance. He’s also tapped into Tarik Skubal for changeup refinement, proving that top-tier players are willing to share their craft when you ask. With big moves like acquiring Ray and Casey Mize, San Diego’s aggressive strategy is paying off—winning 16 of 25 games since the deadline.
