Fernando Tatis Jr. is one of the biggest rising stars in baseball. He is a two-time All-Star, selected in 2021 and 2024. He also won the Gold Glove award in 2023 — his first season playing as a right fielder.

Tatis also bagged the Platinum Glove and became the first right fielder to win it since the award was created in 2011.

Tatis won the Silver Slugger award in 2020 and 2021, as he led the National League in home runs in 2021 with 42. He became the fifth youngest player in the NL and the second player in Padres history to do so, joining Fred McGriff, who played for the team from 1991 to 1993.

Meanwhile, the 2024 season was a decent one for Tatis, appearing in 102 games for the San Diego Padres. He had a batting average of .276, an on-base percentage of .340 and a slugging percentage of .492. He managed to hit 21 home runs with 49 RBIs while stealing 11 bases.

The 2025 season will be an interesting one for Tatis, as many expect him to build on his strong campaign or even exceed it.
