Sad News: San Diego Padres Have Just Announced The Suspension of Fernando Tatís Jr Due To What Transpired Between…
The San Diego Padres’ pitchers got all the praise this weekend, thanks to their three consecutive shutouts against the Colorado Rockies.
At the plate, though, one of their biggest stars made history in his own right.
Right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. hit home runs on Friday and Saturday, finishing the series 4-for-13. Through the first 16 games of the Padres’ season, Tatis is batting .351 with four home runs, six stolen bases, nine RBIs, 13 runs and a .994 OPS in 15 appearances.
According to Underdog Fantasy’s Justin Havens, Tatis is the seventh player in the Wild Card era to record at least four home runs, six stolen bases, nine RBIs and 13 runs in his first 15 games of a season.
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz was the last player to achieve the feat, doing so in 2024. Before him, only Jose Altuve, Ian Kinsler, Brian Roberts, Carlos Beltrán and Larry Walker occupied the list.
