Fernando Tatis Jr. can absolutely crush a baseball. But out of Dodger Stadium, who saw that coming? Tatis walked up to the plate, it’s the top of the fifth, there’s a runner on second base. Tatis Jr looking to get his team within one. With only one ball on in the count, the 22-year-old absolutely nailed a baseball as good as you’re ever going to hit.
It went way downtown.

With the dinger, Tatis became just the fifth player in Dodger history to launched one out of the stadium.
The Padres star joined some elite company.
