Fernando Gabriel Tatís Medina Jr. (tah-TEES; born January 2, 1999), nicknamed "El Niño" or "Bebo",[1] is a Dominican professional baseball right fielder for the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). He is the son of former MLB player Fernando Tatís Sr. Tatís Jr. made his MLB debut in 2019. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 2020 and signed a 14-year, $340 million contract extension before the 2021 season. He was named an All-Star in 2021 and won a second Silver Slugger Award, before missing the 2022 season due to injury and a suspension for using a performance-enhancing substance. Tatís Jr. won a Gold Glove Award and the Platinum Glove Award in 2023. Early life Tatís was born in San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic.[2] His father, Fernando Sr., was already playing in his third year of Major League Baseball (MLB) when Tatís was born, playing for the St. Louis Cardinals at the time.[3] Tatís Jr. held an interest in baseball from a young age, and was athletic and spent a lot of time in big league clubhouses. He often practiced with Robinson Canó, who is also from San Pedro de Macorís.[4] Professional career Minor leagues The Chicago White Sox signed Tatís as an international free agent from the Dominican Prospect League in 2015.[5][6] On June 4, 2016, before he had played a professional game, the White Sox traded Tatís, then 17 years old, and Erik Johnson to the Padres for James Shields.[7][8] Tatís spent 2016 with the Arizona League Padres of the Rookie-level Arizona League and the Tri-City Dust Devils of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League,[9] batting a combined .273 with four home runs and 25 runs batted in (RBIs) in 55 games; on defense, he made 15 errors and had a .904 fielding percentage.[10] Tatís with the Fort Wayne TinCaps in 2017 In 2017, Tatís played 117 games for the Fort Wayne TinCaps of the Class A Midwest League and 14 games for the San Antonio Missions of the Class AA Texas League, posting a combined .278 batting average with 22 home runs, 75 RBIs, and 32 stolen bases as he was caught 15 times, and on defense, he made 30 errors and had a .936 fielding percentage.[11][12][13] In 2017-18, he played 17 games at shortstop for the Estrellas de Oriente of the Dominican Winter League, batting .246 with one home run and three RBIs.[10] Tatís entered 2018 as one of the top prospects in the minor leagues.[14] He returned to play shortstop for San Antonio, and in 88 games he batted .286 with 16 home runs, 43 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases.[10] On July 23, 2018, Tatís underwent season-ending surgery for a broken left thumb and ligament damage suffered during a head-first slide.[15] He returned to play for the Estrellas for the 2018-19 winter season.[16] San Diego Padres (2019-2021, 2023-present) 2019 season Tatís Jr. during his rookie season in 2019 At the beginning of 2019, Tatís was ranked as one of the top three prospects in baseball by MLB Pipeline, ESPN, Baseball America, and Baseball Prospectus.[17][18][19] On March 26, 2019, the Padres announced that Tatís made their Opening Day roster.[20] In his major league debut, he recorded two hits against the San Francisco Giants.[21] On April 1, 2019, Tatís hit his first major league home run.[22] In August, Tatís injured his back, which ended his 2019 season.[23] He finished the season hitting .317/.379/.590 with 22 home runs, 61 runs, and 106 hits over 84 games.[24] He came in third place in balloting for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, behind Pete Alonso and Mike Soroka.[25] 2020 season In the 2020 season, Tatís was part of a four-game streak in August in which the San Diego Padres hit four grand slams, and, notably, was at each base position over the four.[26] There was a controversy involving Tatís when he swung at a 3-0 pitch in the eighth inning, hitting an opposite-field grand slam against the Texas Rangers. This caused some discussion at the time regarding breaking an "unwritten rule of baseball" since the Padres were already up by seven runs.[27] In 2020, Tatís led the NL in power-speed number (13.4) and batted .277/.366/.571 (10th in the league) with 50 runs (2nd), 17 home runs (2nd), 42 RBIs (4th), and 11 stolen bases (4th) in 224 at-bats.[1] Of all major league hitters, he had the highest average exit velocity (95.9 MPH), percentage of hard-hit balls (62.2), and percentage of barrels/plate appearance (12.5%).[28] In Game 2 of the 2020 Wild Card Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, Tatís was able to help bring the Padres back into winning position by hitting two home runs that made it possible for the Padres to win the series and head to the next round against the Dodgers, which they lost in three straight games.[29][30] Tatís finished in fourth place for the National League MVP Award in 2020, behind Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and his teammate Manny Machado.[31] 2021 season Before the 2021 season, Tatís signed a 14-year, $340 million contract extension with the Padres, at the time the third-richest in MLB history, behind deals signed by Mike Trout and Mookie Betts, and the richest signed by a player not yet eligible for salary arbitration.[32] Part of Tatís's future earnings will be given to Big League Advance as part of an agreement Tatís made while in the minor leagues in order to receive early money that he used to "afford a personal trainer, higher quality food and better housing".[33] On April 5, Tatís sustained a left shoulder subluxation while swinging at a pitch during a game against the San Francisco Giants.[34] He was subsequently placed on the 10-day injured list, but avoided serious injury and returned to the Padres lineup on April 16.[35] Tatís Jr. hitting a ground ball during a game in the 2021 season On April 23, exactly 22 years after his father hit two grand slams in one inning, Tatís hit two home runs off of Clayton Kershaw, and he also hit two more home runs in another game off of Trevor Bauer. All four home runs took place at the same venue where Tatís's father made history as well. The Padres won 6-1.[36] On May 12, players from the San Diego Padres, including Tatís and Wil Myers, tested positive for COVID-19; Tatís was placed on the injured list due to COVID-19.[37] On May 19, the Padres activated Tatís from the COVID-19 IL.[38] On June 2, Tatís was named the National League Player of the Month for the month of May, batting .353/.440/.824 with nine home runs, eight stolen bases, 26 RBIs, and 21 runs scored in 20 games.[39] On June 25, Tatís had his first three-homer game in his career against the Arizona Diamondbacks to give the Padres an 11-5 win.[40] On July 1, Tatís was selected to start his first All-Star Game, becoming the first All-Star starter from the Padres since Tony Gwynn.[41] In a July 6, 2021, game, Tatís received media attention for an unusually high catch, which appeared to resemble a double jump typically seen in video games.[42][43] On July 24, Tatís hit his 30th home run of the season, becoming the fourth Padres player to have hit 30 home runs and stolen 20 bases in a season, after Steve Finley, Wil Myers, and Ryan Klesko. He accomplished this feat over 82 games, the lowest for any player age 22 or younger.[44] Tatís suffered a second left shoulder subluxation while playing against the Colorado Rockies on July 30 and was placed on the 10-day IL.[45] During his stint on the IL, Tatís trained with Padres first base coach Wayne Kirby to transition into an outfielder.[46] He was activated from the IL on August 15 and played right field in his first game back from injury.[47] Tatís finished the 2021 season hitting .282/.364/.611 with 97 RBIs, 25 stolen bases, and an NL-leading 42 home runs.[48][49] He also led the majors in at-bats per home run (11.4), and the highest percentage of hard-hit balls (48%).[50] He won his second consecutive Silver Slugger Award[51] and finished third in NL MVP voting behind Bryce Harper and Juan Soto.[52] 2022 season Tatís aboard the USS Anchorage (LPD-23) while recovering from surgery in 2022 On March 16, 2022, Tatís underwent surgery due to a fractured scaphoid bone suffered during the offseason. He was expected to return within three months.[53] Although the cause of the injury was not confirmed, general manager A. J. Preller alluded to a motorcycle accident that Tatís suffered in December 2021 in the Dominican Republic. When a reporter asked when his motorcycle accident occurred, Tatís replied "Which one?," suggesting that he had been involved in multiple such accidents in the 2021-22 offseason.[54] On August 12, 2022, Tatís was suspended for 80 games after testing positive for Clostebol, an anabolic steroid. He stated this was from a medication he took to treat ringworm that he did not check for steroids, though skepticism arose from that claim.[55][56][57] On August 27, 2022, Adidas announced that they would be dropping Tatís from his sponsorship with the athletic company, citing, "We believe that sport should be fair," Adidas

@@mikecarozza3321 yep, thats kind of the attitude of many under age of 40-50 years old in todays new society. Focused on instagram image, being liked for image rather than work ethics, building an outer persona without being real on the inside, and to make lots of money except they dont want to earn it. Tatis is a great player in general, but im a lifelong Padres fan and my team has never won a championship. Its 2023, the city has finally PAID for one yet we have some key players who seem to put baseball on same level as image, thats all im saying. When you see a multi million dollar athlete laughing on bench, dancing on basses or after plays when his team is losing, thats not a focused player to me. Ive watched his career on Padres, he gloats and loves praise after HE makes a play or hits, yet this is a TEAM sport. If your team is one of the biggest under achievers in history of baseball maybe its time to shut down the social media, the party atmosphere and get to winning. But what do i know, im just one of thousands of lifelong fans whove spent hours, days years and lots of money supporting a losing team while younger fans seem to just enjoy the theatrics from players rather than winning games. Again, just my opinion, nothing here is fact...except the part about Padres never winning a championship and being one of the biggest dissapointments in history
