Tatis Jr. Homers, But Padres Fall to Mariners
by Jesse Garcia | Padres Correspondent | Thu, Sep 12th 8:17am EDT
Fernando Tatis Jr. went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Padres' 5-2 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance brings his season totals to a .276 batting average with 16 home runs, 41 RBI, and 55 runs scored. While the home run adds a nice touch to his stat line, Tatis Jr.'s overall impact in fantasy has been somewhat tempered by a high strikeout rate (0.212) and a moderate walk rate (0.079). His power-speed combination remains appealing, but fantasy managers should be aware of the potential for batting average fluctuations given his .313 BABIP. Moving forward, Tatis Jr. remains a high-upside play in fantasy leagues, though consistency might continue to be an issue.
