Troy Tulowitzki's 3-Year-Old Son Can Mash

We wish we were as good and coordinated as Taz.

There are two types of athletes: natural ones, and those who have to complement a mediocre skill set with an immense work ethic and a lot of luck. Troy Tulowitzki's 3-year-old son appears to be the former, which became evident Monday when video circulated of him mashing baseballs at the Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays shortstop took a break from his own work in the batting cage to lob a few balls to his son, Taz, as the club prepares to open up its first homestand of the season. As Tulo tossed an overhand (no underhand for this savage) pitch toward home plate, young Taz crushed one right over dad's head and out of camera range with a swing more technically sound than most, especially for April.

Aside from the obviously great bloodline and genetics, a textbook swing and a good head for the game, Tulo's son also possesses something else that will serve him well in the baseball world—a dope name. So watch out Coco Crisp, Catfish Hunter, and Rusty Kuntz, Taz Tulowitzki is coming for the title.

With only 14 more years until he's MLB draft eligible, Taz is making sure he's ready to go when he finally gets the call sometime in 2031.
