Cubs 4, Pirates 2: Javy Baez makes his pitch to play the Masters

Javier Baez did something very, very rare Thursday afternoon at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Check out how low this pitch is! [VIDEO]

The Masters golf tournament began Thursday and that’s about as “golfy” a baseball swing as you’ll ever see that resulted in a home run:

0.86 ft above the ground!

Tied for the 6th-lowest HR pitch in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008) https://t.co/HGE81uhdvw— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) April 8, 2021
