Javier Baez Slashing .333/.356/.595 In July
3 years agoChicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez has been fantastic so far in July. The month is shaping up to be his best month at the plate so far this year. Over 12 games in July, Baez is slashing .333/.356/.595 with three home runs, three stolen bases, 10 RBI and six runs. He's coming off of a rough June that saw him slash just .157/.231/.373. He didn't have a single multi-hit game in June, but he's already recorded six multi-hit efforts in July. Baez ranks in the 99th percentile of the league in max exit velocity (116.7 mph) and in the 87th percentile in barrel rate (14%). He should continue to be a great source of power numbers while his contact numbers might come and go.
