The San Diego Padres got back into the win column, beating the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday evening after dropping their previous four games in a row.

That hitter is Fernando Tatis Jr., and in a recent piece from Eno Sarris and Dennis Lin of The Athletic, Tatis commented on his lack of home run hitting lately, revealing why he hasn't been hitting as many home runs lately.

Tatis is getting on base and making contact, but his power has dropped off. His "intercept point" may be to blame.
