00:02Austin Hayes has signed with the San Diego Padres and made an instant impact.
00:06The 31-year-old veteran homered in his first at-bat for San Diego,
00:10helping them beat the Astros 7-2 on Sunday.
00:12Hayes was released by the Light Sox after an injury-plagued season limited him to just 12 games.
00:17He's a career 262 hitter with 84 home runs and was an all-star with the Orioles in 2023.
00:23He's known for crushing left-handed pitching with a career 8-16 OPS against Southpaws.
00:28The Padres, who have struggled against lefties this season, see him as a key addition to their bench and outfield
00:33mix.
00:33Drew Craig Stammen called him a good right-handed bench bat who can play the outfield well.
00:37Hayes has reached the postseason in each of the last three seasons with three different teams.
