The San Diego Padres have had quite a few star hitters in their history, but they have not had a lot of players reach the 100 RBI plateau that used to define good hitters. There have only been 16 such players in their history.
Manny Machado has been one of their most prolific hitters over the last few seasons. Unlike Juan Soto and Fernando Tatis Jr, he has neither missed time or been a recent addition, so he's a safe answer. He met this prompt's requirement in both 2021 (106 RBI) and 2022 (102 RBI). At the time of writing, however, he'd been used by 31% of players.
