Fernando Tatis Jr., MLB Shortstop and Hyperice athlete, knows that in order to prolong doing what he loves most, warm up, recovery and body maintenance are crucial.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join the Hyperice family. I’ve always been a fan of their recovery products and have been using them to help keep me on the field,” said Fernando Tatis Jr. “They are the best in the business, and I’m honored to be part of their journey.”

Hyperice was named the Official Recovery Technology Partner of Major League Baseball last season and will provide technology to players during games in the dugout, within the bullpen and throughout training facilities to optimize player performance and speed up recovery.
