SAD report: The San Diego Padres best player Fernando Tatis Jr. has officially announced to step down, Due to his marriage…
When rising sensation Fernando Tatis Jr. to the starting lineup last week, the Padres and their supporters celebrated. Even though his first game didn’t go well, his other three games were quite good, thus it was a much-anticipated return.
After rejoining the squad for a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, 24 year old Tatis leads the league in two categories after just four games played.
The average exit velocity of Fernando Tatis Jr.’s 14 hit balls in Phoenix was 2.4 mph higher than his career average. The average is 7.2 mph faster than Major League Baseball’s average. It is 95.7 mph.
Tatis traveled 83 feet at a speed of 29.3 feet per second on Friday night in order to catch a flyball. His two previous seasons’ averages were matched by the clocking. In contrast, Padres regulars Jake Cronenworth and Ha-Seong Kim have the fastest times, both with 28.2 marks.
Fernando is striking the ball with great force and speed. You would assume that Fernando would need some time to get used to the faster tempo of the game after being out of the league for nearly 600 days, but he doesn’t. This man is a distinct breed, and his response reflects that.
There’s a ton of baseball left for the Padres and Fernando; the team will only get better as a result of his continued improvement.
