A few weeks ago I wrote about Javier Baez's unique season at the plate, as he was on pace to set a few ridiculous records dealing with his low walk rate and low OBP compared to his slugging. Since then, Baez has been on another hot streak, but I bring that article up because I remember someone questioning the opening line to the post.
I wrote...
"Javier Baez is the most exciting player in baseball."
Well, Baez continues to be exactly that. The most exciting, entertaining player in the game and it's not close. I don't care if you're a Cubs fan, if you hate the Cubs, if you've never watched baseball because once you see Baez play there's no denying that it is fact.
Example No. 1 million.
That was the second time Baez has stolen home this season and the first time came on a similar-looking play.
Baez is the first Cubs player since 1967 to steal home twice in a single season.
Not too bad.
