Javier Baez Cranks Three-Run Homer in Win Sunday Night
7 years agoChicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez went 2-for-5 on Sunday night with a three-run home run and a single. Baez cooled down for a stretch but is heating back up lately and is up to 13 HRs on the season with a massive 42 RBI. Baez is having a career year at the plate aside from the 43:7 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and a 25-HR, 15-stolen base season seems conservative if he stays healthy. Baez has a career-high .574 slugging percentage this season and has finally unlocked the power he was always touted for as a prospect. The only thing keeping his value down is the plate discipline, especially in on-base percentage leagues.
