There are franchises out there that wouldn’t be too thrilled watching their franchise player, fresh off a 13-year, $340 million contract extension, tag up on a ball just past the infield dirt and dive, headfirst, into home plate in a spring training game.

Fernando Tatis Jr. isn’t your typical player. He’s one of the best talents in all of Major League Baseball and he has his eyes on bringing that long-awaited World Series championship to San Diego.
