Fernando Tatis Jr. mocks Trevor Bauer with hand-over-eye celebration after deep home run

Fernando Tatis Jr. was out for blood on Saturday and delivered some top quality trolling while he was at it. On the second pitch of the Los Angeles Dodgers game against the San Diego Padres, Tatis went yard off Trevor Bauer to get things going for the visitors early.

For starters, the home run was an absolute moonshot out to left field for Tatis’ sixth of the season. With the Padres having won the first two games of the series against the Dodgers, Tatis’ home run was a great start to continuing the streak.

But his celebration after the fact is where things get fun.

While it’s not originally noticeable on the initial play, the replays of the home run clearly show that Tatis is holding a hand over his eye, a direct retort to Bauer and his spring training shenanigans.

In March, Bauer famously started pitching with one eye closed, a move he adopted for a bit of fun to start off the year.

“I figured if they can’t score off me with one eye open, it’s gonna be difficult to score off me with two eyes open,” Bauer said to reporters during spring training in March.

Tatis opted for quite the top-quality trolling of Bauer on this home run celebration, getting in the last laugh after taking the pitcher deep on just the second pitch of the game.

We don’t often see dunks this hard in baseball, but Tatis — literally and figuratively — knocked it out of the park here.
