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.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is back atop the batting order and it looks like the San Diego Padres are reaping the benefits.

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.
