Fernando Tatis Jr. Claims NL Home Run Title
3 years agoAfter a 4-for-12 series over the weekend with a pair of doubles against the San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. cemented his superstar status in 2021. Despite playing in just 130 games, Tatis led the National League with 42 homers, slashing .282/.364/.611 with 25 steals and 196 runs-plus-RBI in 546 plate appearances. While concerns linger about his recurring shoulder issues, the 22-year-old claims he won't require offseason surgery. After signing a monster 14-year contract before the season, Tatis will enter his fourth big league season as one of baseball's most exciting players. With elite batted-ball abilities and salivating power/speed combination, he'll contend to be the No. 1 overall fantasy pick in 2022.
