Tatis hasn't had a perfect MLB career. He's spent time hurt and time suspended.
But when you're talking about the most talented players in the game, 'Nando has to be on the list.
He showed why again with this incredible moment.
The Padres needed a swing like this, too, given the ultra-competitive nature of the National League West.
They're going to stay in the race as long as Tatis delivers special scenes like this one.
