With each passing day, Javy Baez's case for National League Most Valubale Player picks up steam and seems more and more of a possibility.
"El Mago" woke up Thursday morning leading the NL in RBI and sixth in OPS.
He leads the Cubs in just about every offensive category — runs, hits (22 more than the next closest guy, Albert Almora Jr.), doubles, triples, homers, RBI, total bases, stolen bases, slugging percentage, OPS and WAR.
He's already set career highs in RBI, stolen bases, triples, doubles and extra-base hits and there are still two months left in the season.
