Ho-hum, Javier Baez with another clutch home run on Saturday. The 26-year-old Chicago Cubs shortstop entered Sunday’s series finale against the Cardinals with a .318/.353/.659 slash, a team-leading 11 home runs and 1.8 fWAR in 30 games. It is still early in the season but Baez has so far continued his great play from 2018 when he finished second in the NL MVP race.
If he keeps this up and puts together another season like 2018, then we can pretty much conclude that Baez not only reached his ceiling but topped it.
