It’s been a rough start to the year for star, Fernando Tatis Jr. He’s hitting a measly .248, and, somehow, STILL doesn’t have a home run this season.
Frankly, I didn’t think it was possible for a player like Fernando Tatis to go this long without hitting a ball into the bleachers, but I was wrong. His last dinger came in the World Baseball Classic … in MARCH. Wild.
But, we’re not here to discuss Tatis’ struggles at the dish. Unfortunately for the three-time All-Star, we’re here to take a look at his …
… which also hasn’t been great.
Take a look!
Whooooooooooooof. Just a brutal look here for Tatis. I haven’t seen that play in a long, long time. But, we’ve all seen it before, right?
Anyone here who played Little League certainly grew up with that exact same play. It was a staple of my childhood. There is no such thing as an innocent ground ball in Little League baseball. It doesn’t exist. The second a ball is hit, you hold your breath. There is no telling what’s gonna happen, or where the play is gonna go.
I saw it all in my 20 years playing baseball. Well, I’d like to think I did. I’m sure I didn’t, but I did see a bunch. Some good. Most of it? Bad.
Inside-the-park home runs on balls that never left the infield? Yep. Fights? You betcha. Mercy rules? I was on the receiving end of almost all of them.
One time, I played on a team so bad that we made . Do you know how hard that is to do? We did it … with ease.
Anyway, back to Tatis. Again, it’s just been a brutal year for the 27-year-old. No homers. Hitting in the lower .200s. I’m pretty sure I have a better OPS than him at the moment. It’s just been bad.
And, of course, the fans are fed up.
Yikes:
