There are very few players who have the same level of charisma and personality as Fernando Tatis Jr. The San Diego Padres’ star has charmed the audiences with his unique characteristics in no time. His passion for the game of baseball is matched by very few. On Friday during the game against Arizona Diamondbacks, he once again lit the crowd with an electrifying home run and an epic bat flip.
While flipping the bat has become pretty come in MLB these days, they are still cool to watch. Tatis gave the crowd present at Petco Park another moment to remember as he crushed a two-run home run in the eighth inning.
Tatis was not having a good day till this moment. He was hitless, going 0-for-3 in his previous plate appearances. With the Padres leading 2-0 and one out in the eight, he came up to bat. The 24-year-old star would connect pretty well with the ball and slammed it out of the park.
What followed after this was great celebrations from him and the fans. Tatis was seen pumped up with his performance and did not hold back in celebrating and showing his passion. This home run was his 20th of the season and it helped the Padres beat the D-Backs 4-0.

Ever since bursting onto the scene a few years back, Fernando Tatis Jr has continued to charm the fans with his personality. As the son of former MLB player Fernando Tatis Sr., the pressure was certainly on him to deliver. While his suspension over PEDs usage continues to annoy some fans, he has held his ground and continues to be the leading man for the Padres.
Recently he was seen in the same electric mood as yesterday after he stole home against the Orioles. When it comes to hitting home runs, he has missed a couple of them in the past few weeks by inches. He was happy to see one of them leave the yard this time. “Man, about time one of those goes out,” he said after the game. Twitter would go into a meltdown as he proceeded to flip his bat after the home run. One user wrote, “Tatis is f***** goated“. Here are some other reactions.
The Padres have now won three of their last four games. They will need more results like this to improve their 59-64 record if they were to make a last push for the postseason spots this year.
