Javier Báez is magic. He makes plays that are unbelievable and he slides with an evasive swim move so that even if he looks out, he’s not out. Don’t bother trying to Javy slide against him, though, because he’s also the best tagger in the league. Honestly, he’s so good at tagging that the baseball community now talks about tagging as a skill. Oh, and he also hits ridiculous home runs, so of course his 100th career home run had a bit of magic to it.
This is an 0-2 pitch in the lower left part of the zone and El Mago does not miss.
