Brother of Fernando Tatis Jr. carving out own baseball path at San Diego City College
SAN DIEGO, CA (KGTV) — A red baseball glove that sits on the grass at a San Diego City College baseball practice quickly grabs your attention, as the inscription on the glove reads “23 Tatis Jr.”
The owner of this baseball glove happens to be Knights third baseman and catcher Daniel Tatis, the younger brother of Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr.
We are going to be alike, but also we are not the same,” said Daniel Tatis. “There is definitely some kind of pressure because you have to live up to the name, but at the end of the day, it’s just me on the field so I just try to do my job and do my best.”
With the last name of Tatis and the family baseball history that comes with it, Daniel said the expectations of him at San Diego City College are pretty high.
“People expect a lot, but at the end of the day, Fernando and I are different human beings and mostly I’m just being me,” Daniel told ABC 10News.
The great thing for Daniel in having a brother who is a Major League Baseball superstar is the superstar advice he receives.
