Fernando Tatis Jr 2023 Golden Glove Winner- Redemption is Going “Right” in the Field
Things are going right… especially out in right field! Today’s official honoring of San Diego Padres Fernando Tatis Jr 2023 Golden Glove winner accolades for his insane display of defensive skills and talent. Is certainly what baseball is all about… professional teams, with great athletes. Nevertheless, for El Niño, the redemption is complete.
Tatis’ year started off a little shaky. The 2023 season begins and Fernando is still serving out his mandatory 80 game suspension. Yet, there is light at the end of the tunnel. His return is still near and imminent; and once cleared, Tatis makes the most of his “second chance.”
One of MLB’s most electric stars has himself a season! After numerous highlight reel appearances, Fernando Tatis Jr wraps the 2023 season with a batting average of .259 with 149 hits, 25 homers, 78 RBIs and 91 runs scored in 141 games. While his batting is exciting, and still crazily nowhere near what we all know he’s capable of doing; it is Tatis’ defense that is really spectacular.

Fernando before suspension was a lights out short stop. Literally, one of the best in the Major League Baseball. However, upon his return to the diamond Tatis finds himself in a new position… right field.
While some claimed Tatis would throw fit because he’s an “issue in the clubhouse;” (didn’t see even a hint of that this season, so fake news). El Niño did not seem even remotely phased by the move. Instead he full on embraced it.
Tatis had to not only deal with outsider scrutiny, boos and hostility over his return to work; but also learn a new position. Learn how to take different routes and anticipate how to field various hits. Not an easy task, but he succeeds!
More specifically, he DOMINATES. No ball in right field is safe around Tatis. Dude is vertical jumping several feet robbing guys of home runs right at the wall. He’s tossing guys out at 3rd AND getting ball to the catcher at home! To the point very few players throughout the 2023 season try to test the arm and sheer power of a Tatis throw.
No one really tries, because no one wants to end up embarrassed. Therefore, this is truly the mark of a Gold Glove Winner. A dominant athlete so good at his job, he is a real game changer. So, congratulations to Tatis on winning his very first Gold Glove; here’s to many more in the future!
