San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. had a bit of a rocky season this past year. He started 102 games, hitting .276/.340/.492 with 21 home runs and 49 runs batted in.
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.

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.
