Manny Machado's professional baseball career

Manny Machado made his MLB debut in August 2012. He had a breakout season in 2013, earning a seat on the American League roster.

He was also acknowledged as one of the game's top fielders, collecting a Gold Glove Award. Machado got his second Gold Glove in 2015 and was selected to the All-Star Game in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2022.

On February 21, 2019, Machado agreed terms with the San Diego Padres on a 10-year, $300 million contract, making it the richest free-agent deal in the history of American sports.

Machado signed a new 11-year contract deal with the Padres for $350 million on February 28, 2023; the new pact includes a complete no-trade provision and will keep Machado with the Padres until 2033.

Machado became the first MLB player to be ejected for appealing for a pitch clock violation on April 4, 2023. The San Diego Padres player now has two high-profile distinctions: he's the first MLB player to get a pitch-clock violation and the first to be ejected for appealing a pitch-clock violation.

In his first at-bat against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, he was called for a third-strike pitch-clock violation.
