Statistics and records are an integral part of every sport. They also help identify the best which every athlete wants to achieve. In baseball, scoring runs is not an effortless task. It is something that every batter works hard to achieve. Fernando Tatis. Jr. is not an exception to this and surely wants to add to his records.

Tatis is known for his hard-hitting skills and is one of the best players in the league. He faced a suspension last season but is still ahead in a race of breaking a record. What is this record? Who are the other players to achieve this? Below is the answer.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is 15 short of a century of home runs!

A home run is a big thing and one of the most celebrated shots in baseball. The century of home runs, a landmark achievement for any athlete, overlaps any other record. Many skilled players could not achieve it during their big careers. But for Tatis, this record looks nearer than ever. The Padres right fielder can achieve this feat sooner than Aaron Judge. According to a tweet shared by Héctor Gómez, Tatis is just 15 home runs short of completing a century of home runs.

Tatis has 85 home runs to claim in 285 games of his career. According to Gomez, Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso have achieved this in 371 and 347 games, respectively. In comparison, Tatis averages a home run per 3.3 games, while Judge scored a home run in 3.7 games.

The former is ahead in this race and can cover the remaining distance in less than 340 games. It means that he will beat not only Judge but also Alonso in this race.

Will Tatis be able to surpass Ryan Howard?

Ryan Howard, the Philadelphia Phillies great, had an astonishing baseball career. Howard was a great hitter of the ball and has 382 home runs to his name, along with the record of a century of home runs in just 325 games.

If Tatis looks to surpass Howard, he has to play extraordinarily in the upcoming games. Tatis has hit four home runs in 14 games this season, averaging a home run per 3.5 games. To surpass the MLB great, the player has to score a century of home runs in 39 games. Will Tatis be able to break it? Only time will tell!
