It’s a good year for prep outfielders with size, projectable talent, and a bevy of tools. For as impressive as James Wood, Benny Montgomery, and Daylen Lile are, Boston, Mass., outfielder Joshua Baez may be the cream of the crop. His blend of present performance, athleticism and future impact can’t be matched.
At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Baez is a load. He’s a big, strong, physical outfielder who projects to hit for big power at the next level. He’s a fantastic athlete with eye-popping run times and he’s been up to 97 on the mound too.
