As a San Diego native & Padres fan, I can say I'm glad he's one of us. Tatis Jr. was meant to play this game. Not only will he be one of the greatest Padres to play the game, but he will go down as one of the greatest in MLB history!
Got into baseball just because of Fernando, he's so humble and such a beast. Reminds me of other humble generational players in other sports like Steph Curry for example.
Yankee fan here. Im really happy for the padres ❤ love tatis play style and dedication 👏 this dude brings joy to the game 👍

Fernando tati y many Machado son mi favorito. Que Viva la república Dominicana
This documentary was amazing! I'm from San Pedro De Macorís and I can tell you that when Tatis Jr start playing into the Estrellas Orientales he brought something special for all the team and the fans. He is a very important part of the Estrellas Orientales's championship. 👌👍👏👏❤️
Woa , felicidades a Fernando y esposa . Dios , la familia y educación es la base de todo .
He’s the future and beyond that I love this kid, coming from a giants/mariners fan
My respect for Fernando Tatis Jr. He is one of the most talented young player. Dominican Proud. God Bless Tatis' parents because they do a good job!
Best in the game right now...he could do everything and more..from my hometown. El niño.
Wow what a talent and humble kid at the same time, God Bless him with a long career and keep putting this kind of show on the MLB, RD in the Houseee.

What a down to earth good human being!! At his age and being a true baseball player playing the game with his heart and soul the way it should be played, and not taking a knee or wearing a face diaper in this day and age.. this guy and Tony Gwynn are the two most most genuine human beings ever to play the game of baseball. Padre fan since 78 and until this day, to bad the city didn’t keep the Bolts their, my team one year longer until they moved to Shit L.A!! The hell with the Spanos family just keep the Padres in San Diego, love the energy and excitement in that ballpark.
Tatis jr is the ultimate ,the elite , 💙💙💙 watting for 2023
DIOS LO BENDIGA Y LE DE MUCHA SALUD
He makes it look easy, it's contagius, go padres!!!
Super talento. Dominicano,en beisbol bendiciones
You have to give credits to A.J. Preller to take that risk, to give one of the best pitcher at the time, for this kid. That is the part of the game that, we as a fans don't see but is a chess game behind doors. Thank you for this excellent documentary, because it shows everything about Tatis jr, his family, believe, home town and most but not less important how he got there to MLB, all the hard work that he have to do.

Actually Shields was having a terrible season before the trade and continued sucking after the trade. One of the most lopsided trades ever. They made up for the A.Rizzo to my Cubs for A.Cashner.
The Padres have something magical going on! If they can add a couple of great pitchers to their roster it's gonna be a lot of fun :) DODODO

The last time the Padres were in the world series. 1998. In a time when the Yankees dynasty was the club to beat.
Oye tigere,Saludos de un fanatico boricua,Te puedo decir de que de todos los talentos que posees ,Y aunque no es uno de los que se menciona ,Eres uno de los mejores corredores de bases que e visto en mi vida y lo digo porque los Boris si que sabemos correr bases,pero tú eres un monstruo,impecable es tú ritmo y timing!

Didn’t know much about Fernando but when I see him at the plate I see a man-size player dominating. Listening to him on this segment, I hear the little boy who fell in love with baseball. It’s an amazing juxtaposition.
he’s an amazing player on the field and an amazing person off the field

Dodgers fan here, but love watching this kid play. Young players like him make this game exciting and he’s just a great guy overall. Wish nothing but the best for Tatis. Machado on the other hand...
Can't wait to see Tatis, Machado, and all my mlb Dominican players playing in olímpic games or any international games representing the Dominican Republic.... Tatis, you got it boy.... Keep killing 🔥🔥🇩🇴❤️
As a Cubs fan, I’ve always been appreciative of people who came from your organization...Hoyer and Rizzo in most recent years...heck y’all even have Darvish and Caratini now! But Tatis Jr has captivated me as a baseball fan this season! Much luck to the Padres organization and bright future!

Tatis Jr. Keep doing what you do.
I am thankful to the padres and the sponsors (petco jackinthebox sycuan) for these awesome documentaries. Watched some of the paddack one, too, and cant wait to watch machados. I love this Tatis documentary so much im watching it again. Plus having the great Don Orsillo narrate? Padre fans are so spoiled😭🤎💛. Padres twt doesnt have many followers as other clubs but this yt channel is really good and has a sizable amount of subscribers for a baseball club. Thanks for the awesome content, Padres. You guys are the best and greatest always in the hearts of the Friar Faithful.
I'm proud of him. He is a great player person and he has built a good clean life for hiself.i wish him well. Saw him play many times this year. Nando keep up the good work. My daughter and I have the pleasure of knowing him. Great documentary
I fell off the sports bandwagon when the chargers left. It hurt me to my core. ( FYI my dog is named charger ) we need this team more than ever. Tatis and the new ownership has my utmost admiration and once allowed I will be there supporting with everything I have. Let’s go Slam Diego Padres baby .
So glad Fernando is coming back to the Padres
