The Chicago CubsJavier Baez is a unique player. His flair rubs some people the wrong way, especially when he’s swinging at everything that’s thrown up to the plate. In the 2016 NLCS, he shared MVP honors with Jon Lester. But in the Fall Classic, he struck out almost 42 percent of the time. Baez loves to swing, as he’s never met a pitch he didn’t like. But you have to take the good with the bad, dealing with his swings and misses while still enjoying his defense. He’s still young, and there are still holes in his game.
