Trevor Hoffman
He was inducted into the San Diego Padres Hall of Fame and is one of the greatest relief pitchers to ever play
Hoffman’s journey to becoming a legendary closer was unconventional. Originally drafted as a shortstop by the Cincinnati Reds, he struggled at the plate and was eventually converted to a pitcher due to his strong arm, which could reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour. After being selected by the Florida Marlins in the 1992 expansion draft, Hoffman was traded to the Padres in 1993, where he quickly established himself as one of the premier closers in the league. His ability to adapt and develop a devastating changeup after a shoulder injury in 1994 further cemented his status as one of the most effective relievers in baseball.
Throughout his career, Hoffman was selected to seven All-Star teams and was twice the runner-up for the National League Cy Young Award. He retired with numerous records, including fifteen 20-save seasons, fourteen 30-save seasons, and nine 40-save seasons. His entrance to the mound, accompanied by AC/DC's "Hells Bells," became iconic among Padres fans and added to his legendary status. Despite losing some velocity on his fastball after his injury, Hoffman's mastery of the changeup allowed him to remain a dominant closer well into his later years.
After retiring from playing in 2010, Hoffman continued to contribute to the game by taking on various roles within the Padres organization. He served as a special assistant in the front office and later became the team's pitching coordinator, overseeing the development of pitchers at the minor league level. His expertise and experience have made him a valuable asset to the Padres, and his legacy as one of the greatest closers in MLB history remains intact.
