Tatis Jr. struggled to get going, but recovered a better version of himself.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. experienced a delayed start to his performance during the 2024 MLB season. While the Padres officially began their campaign on March 27 in San Diego with a loss to the Detroit Tigers, Tatis Jr.'s individual offensive momentum did not materialize until May 30 during a game against the Washington Nationals.
