A home run drought that lasted 16 games ended on Thursday for Cardinals prospect Joshua Baez.
The 19-year-old outfielder pulled an elevated fastball to left-center field for a two-run homer in his first at-bat of Class Low-A Palm Beach’s 8-7 loss to St. Lucie. The two-run blast from Baez — the Cardinals’ second-round pick in the 2021 draft — was his first since May 16 and just his third of the season. His only other home run in 2023 came on April 12.
Joshua Baez puts us on the board after this crushing this 107.
