In search of a bounce back after he struggled offensively to begin the year with Class Low-A Palm Beach, Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez’s Tuesday performance was a step in the right direction.
Baez, 19, went two-for-three with a walk and a stolen base during Palm Beach’s series-opening loss to Mets affiliate, St. Lucie. For Baez, the multi-hit game was his second-consecutive multi-hit performance and improved him to 10-for-32 (.313) with seven walks and four stolen bases in his last 10 games. Baez, who has eight stolen bases on the year, has swiped a bag in each of his last three games played.
