VIDEO: Padres' Chris Paddack Rolls up to First Start of Spring Training Wednesday in Badass Outfit
By Jerry Trotta
San Diego Padres right-hander Chris Paddack enjoyed an impressive rookie campaign, during which he established himself as a boisterous enigma. The expectations for the 24-year-old will be fairly lofty in 2020, and the budding star appears to be playing off that narrative by displaying all-out confidence. Check out Paddack strutting into Wednesday's workout donning an awesome cowboy outfit.

That's a man full of hubris, and we are here for every second of it.
Paddack has yet to make an appearance in Cactus League play thus far -- his first start will come on Wednesday -- but make no mistake about it, folks: this is the look of a man that wants to run away with the No. 1 spot in San Diego's rotation this season.

Paddack had better look sharp against the Cleveland Indians after walking into the Padres facility rocking a cowboy outfit. Considering that the Austin native feeds off this sort of attention, something tells us that he'll do just that.
