Fernando Tatis, Jr. has made the San Diego Padres' Opening Day roster, according to reports.

Tatis is widely regarded as the No. 1 overall prospect in baseball.

The Padres could have delayed his free agency by keeping him in the Minor Leagues for a few weeks.

Tatis Jr. will be 20 years and 85 days old on Thursday, making him the youngest player in Padres history to start on Opening Day and the youngest position player in MLB to do so since Adrian Beltre, who was 19 years, 363 days old when he started at third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1999.
