Chicago Cubs: Javier Baez looking to improve walk rate in 2020

In a league where on-base-percentage has become very important, the Chicago Cubs have to do a better job finding ways to get on base. Too often, we are seeing the players try to be too flashy, which is detrimental to the overall ability to score runs.

One of the players this relates to in a big way is Javier Baez. As we enter spring training and the 2020 season, it will be crucial for Baez to focus on his walk rate to help improve his ability to get on base.

With one of the most disciplined batters in recent Cubs memory not returning in 2020, the Cubs will have to find ways to fill the void Ben Zobrist is leaving.
