Fernando Tatis Jr.’s spring show is back. Good pre-season that Tatis stopped for six days while the Dominicans fought a virus (unrelated to COVID).
But the shortstop returned to action on Friday to face Athletics at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona, and it only took a few minutes for him to make his presence felt with a monstrous home run by Mexican Sergio Romo at the top. first entry.
After Tatis worked the counter, Romo threw a slider that the Padres star sent past the left fence.
Tatis’ swing is not the only thing that seems to be ready for the season, but also his attitude seems to be, as he sits for a few seconds appreciating his success.
He was the Dominican’s second homer in the pre-season. He reached the plateau after going 9-4 in the Cactus League. After signing a 14-year extension for $ 340 million, the scene for Tatis is bigger, but so far he has taken advantage of it in the pre-season.
The only thing that stopped Tatis was the virus, but the young man returned on Friday feeling much better.
“It feels good,” said Padres manager Jayce Tingler. “It’s done”.
Homer removed any doubt.
Other Dominicans who saw action for San Diego were Pedro Florimón, who was briefly used as a first baseman and connected 1-1, Jorge Mateo did not give up three bat-bats and Iván Castillo 1-0.
For Athletics, outfielder Ramón Laureano went 1-0.
