2023 Padres Season Review: Fernando Tatis Jr.

4.4 fWAR, 141 G, .257 AVG, .322 OBP, .449 SLG, 113 wRC+, 91 R, 78 RBI, 25 HR

Positives From This Season

For all of the hate that Fernando Tatis Jr. received this season from opposing fans, I thought he handled it pretty well (same goes for what he said in the media). On the field, he definitely had his moments that reminded the baseball world how special of a talent he is. Remember when he stole home? How about his home run robbery at Petco Park?

Tatis played more games than anyone expected going into the year, including Bob Melvin, which should give fans confidence he’ll be able to be out there consistently again in 2024.
