Fernando Tatis Jr. got the San Diego Padres off to a hot start in the opening inning against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday night, getting things going with a leadoff double. Tatis didn't put the best swing on the ball––in fact, he barely put any swing on it whatsoever.

Clearly the offseason recovery has done him well. In just his second game this season, he smacked a no-doubt home run against the Atlanta Braves and topped off the powerful hit with a bat flip that made him one of the most exciting players over the last few seasons.

Like most position-player stars, Tatis can shine in any lineup spot, but he’s been extra-good at leadoff. He had a .309 batting average, .374 on-base rate and .599 slugging percentage in 161 starts entering Thursday. It’s rare for a hitter to acknowledge he’s locked in after just one game. Then again, a lot of work preceded that one game.
