While he was on the field, he was stellar, but he had to miss a good chunk of time. In the middle of the season, Tatis Jr. endured a stress reaction in his right femur that took him to the IL.

Now, the slugger is healthy and enjoying the offseason while still staying in shape and preparing for the upcoming season. He posted a video of him dancing in the gym for all his Instagram followers to see.

Fernado Tatis Jr. could not help but dance when J Balvin's song "El Alta" came on, but can you blame him? The song is the perfect song to hype up anyone's gym session.

The day did not just include a gym session for San Diego Padres slugger Fernando Tatis Jr. He also went to the field for a batting practice session with his friends.

"We go out to warm up our swords" said Tatis Jr.

Jurickson Profar and Webster Rivas also accompanied Tatis Jr. during his batting practice session. For Profar, he is training hard, awaiting his next MLB contract as he entered this offseason as a free agent.

Tatis Jr. looks like he has been practicing like he is a free agent too. The slugger posted a video of him making extremely loud contact and sending balls out with ease. If he can stay healthy, it may be a huge year for the two-time All-Star.
