Fernando Tatis Jr.’s sophomore season has been delayed until who knows when. In the interim, you can at least watch El Niño play … video games.
The 21-year-old shortstop will represent the Padres on Friday night in a first-ever MLB The Show players league, a Boys & Girls clubs fundraiser and an avenue to engage fans during baseball’s coronavirus hiatus.
Tatis is one of eight players who are 25 or younger. He is clearly a fan of the game.
The league features 11 former All-Stars and five World Series champions in a round-robin tournament that will take place throughout the month of April for a total of 29 three-inning, regular season games.
