I haven’t seen a young ball player this talented since I watched Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle in their early careers. Perhaps it should be Matis.
Even more impressive is Tatis, Jr.’s humble, appreciative attitude. He appreciates the blessing of making a colossal living in a sport he absolutely loves.
Having seen all three players in their youth, I have a strong suspicion I won’t see the end of Fernando’s 14 years. Nonetheless, all the enjoyment of watching him play have made my summers more exciting.
The heat in a lightning bolt is four times the temperature of the surface of our sun, per NASA.gov., and, this 22 year old is ELECTRIC.

Power, speed, charisma and joy. Some ballplayer!
