The 25-year-old San Diego Padres star's blast gave his team an early 2-0 lead, propelling them to a 4-0 victory.
The impressive 415-foot shot into the second deck of left field at Petco Park ignited the crowd of 47,647 fans, who erupted in excitement. Tatis, known for his flair on the field, confidently watched the ball sail away, tossed his bat aside, gestured towards the dugout, and did his signature stutter step around third base.
