If you’ve read Uni Watch for even a short amount of time, you probably know that I love baseball stirrups. And for the past three seasons, nobody in the big leagues has worn them better than pitcher Chris Paddack, who broke in with the Padres in 2019 and quickly established himself as MLB’s preeminent hosiery hero.
In addition to wearing his stirrups with just the right amount of white undersock showing, Paddack keeps things lively by changing his stirrup striping from game to game. Last season, by my count, he wore at least seven different stirrup designs (eight if you count spring training) — almost certainly an all-time record.
