Who’s the leading candidate to be NLCS MVP in 2016?
Let’s explore the possibilities from the Chicago Cubs perspective, since they now lead the series, 3-games-to-2.
Baez has been a star at bat and in the field. He went 1-for-10 in the 2015 NLCS against the Mets, but is hitting .368 with four doubles and five RBIs through five games against the Dodgers.
As a rookie in 2014, Baez was lured into bad results on pitches in the lower half of the strike zone or below the knees, hitting .197 against pitches in that area.
