Jurickson Profar agreed to a $42 million, three-year contract with the Atlanta Braves, less than a year after the outfielder got a $1 million deal from the San Diego Padres with spring training already underway.

Outfielder Jurickson Profar, who had the best season of his MLB career last year, spoke about how Fernando Tatis Jr.'s father helped him improve his hitting.

Profar, a switch-hitter, began lifting his front leg higher at the start of his swing. He said advice from former major leaguer Fernando Tatis and work with San Diego outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. last offseason helped convince him to make the change, which added power to his swing.

Profar finalized a $1 million deal with the Padres last Feb. 24, then hit .280 with 24 home runs in a long-awaited breakout at 31.

After pretending he was Andruw Jones or Chipper Jones in backyard games as a kid, Profar will be the Braves' everyday left fielder.

The Braves also signed Bryan De La Cruz to a one-year deal on Dec. 16 to add outfield depth, but the team otherwise had a quiet offseason before the addition of Profar. A switch-hitter, he will join Michael Harris, Jarred Kelenic, Eli White and De La Cruz as Atlanta's top outfielders.
