Baez impresses Baez

[Sammy Sofa]

Extend him now, dammit.

So why does he not say to himself at the plate, slider 3 feet off and in the dirt...

 

He really does seemingly guess more than any other hitter I can think of.

He makes so many plays look easy at SS.

 

Now we just need to get rid of the guy who keeps losing his damn bat whenever he swings.

.905 OPS on an 0-2 count. Amazing!

Also, this is so indescribably Baez: he has more Home Runs than Walks right now lol

I have no stats to back me up but, I feel Javy does a decent job at times getting to 3 ball counts. More specifically 3-2 counts, but usually can’t take that 4 ball very often.

Baez deserves an extension just for all of the extensions he routinely gives the rest of us.

He’s a natural lefty, why not?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because he has no experience doing it, that’s why

Name all the players who started doing new things several years into their major league career? A handful of pitchers work on a new pitch, but I can’t name any player who has converted to a switch hitter at age 27.

Baez has declined an invite to the HR derby

To rest his heel which I'm 1000% in favor of.

Rich Ankiel and Brooks Kieschnick say "Yo". Kieschnick was a 1st ballot HoFer though Ankiel did have to wait until his 3rd year of eligibility.

That was such a good play by all 3 guys. The stop and flip by Javy, the bare hand grab and turn by Russell, and the pick out of the dirt by Rizzo.
