In 2012, Machado played in just 51 games but showed that he was going to be a superstar, collecting 50 base hits. Machado's first full season in the big leagues was not until the year after in 2013, when he batted .283 with 14 home runs, 71 RBIs and a league-leading 51 doubles. He also won his first Gold Glove Award in 2013. The 2014 season was an injury-prone season as he managed to play in just 82 games. His 2015 season saw a huge increase in power. He belted out 35 home runs in 2015 while also winning another Gold Glove and a top-four AL MVP finish. This was the first of five straight seasons with at least 30 home runs and 85 or more RBIs for Machado. He spent seven seasons with Baltimore, belting out 162 home runs and collecting 977 of his 1,500 career hits with the Orioles. During the middle of the 2018 season, Machado was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers and played just half a season in LA. Following this season, he stayed out west and signed a deal with the San Diego Padres. Machado's best season with the Padres to this point came a season ago, when he hit 28 home runs and drove in 106 runs. With Machado's impressive start to 2022, it appears that he is just now reaching the prime of his career, which is scary to think about, given how good he has been.
