Fernando Tatis Jr. Had Zero Words for Manny Machado After Padres' Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Diego Padres started a four-game series on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and in the first matchup, they lost 6-3, dropping their record to 48-42.

San Diego Padres All-Star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. has decided whether he will participate in the first Home Run Derby of his career this season.

It should not take long for Tatis Jr. to rediscover himself in the batter’s box. Everyone should be encouraged that he is hitting the ball extremely hard all season. Tatis Jr.’s hard-hit rate is currently 50.0%, which is much higher than the league average (39.4%). However, it is not close to his career-best mark of 62.2% in 2020.
