Javier Baez has continued to amaze us as Chicago Cubs fans during the start of the 2019 season. Making crazy plays in the field, avoiding tags running the bases, and hitting homers. Something that many people didn’t know if he could continue to do after the 2018 season where he finished second in the MVP voting.
Then on May 19 during a game in the nation’s capital against the Washington Nationals Baez made an unbelievable play that most Cubs fans seemed to expect Baez to make at this point. Baez injured his heel and laid on the field and Cubs fans hearts stopped because we all know that we could not afford to lose El Mago.
