If there was any doubt that Fernando Tatis Jr. is the new Face of Major League Baseball, there ought to be less now after the San Diego Padres shortstop boldly resubmitted his application over the weekend.
After a 1-for-4 night in San Diego s 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, Tatis came alive and went 7-for-15 with five home runs as the Padres won two of the next three games to take the series.
That quintet of long balls featured two each off Cy Young Award winners Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer and averaged a sturdy 411 feet. And inasmuch as anything relating to a 22-year-old with only 158 major league games under his belt can be customary, Tatis indeed celebrated each dinger with his customary aplomb.
