Video made for entertainment purposes only Clips belong to MLB.com/MLB Advanced Media Songs used are Javier Baez's walk-up songs: Farruko - "Visionary" Snow - "Informer"
Douglas Ladd I know right, he is crazy! And just like you said, his DRS is unbelievable. He had 11 Defensive Runs Saved at second base last season, which was third place at second base- one run behind Pedroia and Kinsler, who both played over 3 times as many innings as Baez.
FuSion Arrows I know, that was amazing! I'm probably going to make a second part to this video in a couple of seasons, if not after this season. But that depends on how many great tags he makes.
Christian Sosa Thank you! I can't remember for sure if the Cubs did offer Baez or if that was just a rumor, because I have no idea why the Yankees would have turned him down.
Crazy for Baseball NY turned him down because Baez had yet to be unleashed, they didn't see him worthy of said trade; he had some highlights but he started to show his full potential late into the season
+Christian Sosa That is just not true. The Cubs had considered him and Schwarber as untouchable pretty much all season. Plus, that logic doesn't make sense, because if they turned down Baez because he was "unproven", then why trade for a highly-touted, yet unproven, single-A prospect in Torres?
You can only be a great tagger when they throw the ball directly over the base and you can get it to the base in front of the baserunner before hes safe.
The first song is "Visionary" by Farruko, which plays from the beginning until about 4:12. The second song, which plays from 4:18 until the end of the video, is "Informer" by Snow. Those songs are Javier Baez's walk-up songs.
the only dude who has ever had a tag reel
lol!!!! Right!!!!??????
This snap tag is simply something you can't teach. He's been doing this since he was a kid in Puerto Rico. It's pure and utter instinct.
I've been a baseball fan for over a half a century and he's the best tag artist I've ever seen.
this dude is something else wow. not just that's he's fast tagger but the way he catches the ball like he makes it look sooo easy haha. SWAG
World Baseball classic when he pointed at Molina before even recieving the ball was my favorite ! What a player !!! Great editing !
1:30 what a beautiful throw tho
Who else could have a five minute tag video?
Douglas Ladd right! and he wasn't even an everyday starter.
Look up his DRS stat at 2b, and then look at innings played. Mind boggling.
Douglas Ladd it's insane! specially because, he wasn't always 2nd either.

Douglas Ladd Derek Jeter, or probably a twenty minute vid of Rickey Henderson swiping bags
Baez is going to change the way they teach infielders to apply tags. I bet in 5 to 10 years everyone will be applying that snap-momentum tag of his.
Maybe, but they won't all be like El Mago! :-D :-D :-D
the hardest tagger in the league, it makes a huge impact. you’re on the right track with your prediction!
Proud of him. Proud to be Puertorican 🌴❤️
Another one of the great Boricua baseball players in time. Javi Baez makes us proud 🇵🇷 and I’m a White Sox fan
He knows when to just let the ball come to the tag. Sometimes he reaches and is quick like that but he knows when to wait
dude is a beast🔥
Nice editing job. I watched this three times in a row. That dude is too much fun.
Ward Reynolds Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That's awesome to see Javier Baez do the best tags in 2016.
I can't believe this is all 1 guy.
He is insane.
Few things in baseball as beautiful as a throw and tag. That’s art.
God damn... I love Baez. lol
Super Man crush.
Mad props to Contreras to getting the ball there on time!
I love watching him... i even saw him play in Chicago last May againts white sox..
My husband and i are huge Chicago sports fan..
Diehard Mets fan and Javy Baez is easily one of my favorite players in the game. Too smooth.
this aged well lol. congrats!
Only if u got the tag he made during the world baseball classic
FuSion Arrows I know, that was amazing! I'm probably going to make a second part to this video in a couple of seasons, if not after this season. But that depends on how many great tags he makes.
Crazy for Baseball true just keep up the good work
FuSion Bl
Never tire of watching Javy.
He's legit the best to ever do it in this aspect. I've never even seen someone close to this level
The tags were what I was looking for, especially the one at 3:15.
He is a monster! I cry everytime
I didn't know being a good tagger was a thing until Javy Baez
Is incredible !!!
what a beautiful video - thank you :-)
We couldnt have won in 2016 without him. Hes so good at baseball
Baez is the best infielder in baseball! Go Cubs go!!!
Chase McAndrew he good, but he's not the best in baseball
@@greenlogos5107 who's better?
Manny machado
@@liltop2296 lmao 😂 dumbass
Guess Nolan arenado doesn’t exist or Fransico Lindor
Only Baez could make these plays
His got to b one of the best ever....u can tell baseball is in him....fuking love this game. ..GO CUBS ..MVP ...
This dude is doing it! MLBBBBBBBBBB
Nice video.
If I remember correctly, the cubs offered Baez as part of the Chapman trade but the yankees refused. That was a nice move by NY.
Christian Sosa Thank you! I can't remember for sure if the Cubs did offer Baez or if that was just a rumor, because I have no idea why the Yankees would have turned him down.

You don't remember correctly. Baez was never part of any trade offers.
We’ve been watching baseball for 100+ years, and this is the first time we’ve ever complimented a players tagging skills
I love Baez he is the absolute truth!! I won't use swag but this young lad has super Moxy!!!
Javy's music is dope
do you know what it is called?
Forget the tags this is a swagger reel
Fenómeno !
I think there are enough highlights for a 2018 1st half highlights video of Baez. He is doing great.
dude is sick. excellent vid
some of these are just amazing throws... great video though!!! thanks!
Amazing
His footwork around the bag is insane...
Mans a beast
excellent video.
Great vid
best tagger i've ever seen
Boricua de pura cepa.......talento del bueno.
Thats TEAMWORK ...BAEZ THE BEST...
ive watched this vid 8 times he is my idol at tagging at shortstop
holy fuck finally some fire ass spanish music 🔥🔥🔥
The one against sf that's not in this video is my favorite at Wrigley with the no look tag one of the most impressive putouts I've seen.
damn I really thought dee gordon couldn't be thrown out. But the only person who can escape Javier Baez's tag us Javier baez
No more deadly a combination in MLB right now than Contreras to Baez
Nice vid.
Thanks!
This makes me wanna practice my tags
ideal throw or not he's got genius timing. and the best part is he makes it look like it's nothing
I love Javy!!! Go Cubs!!
The best
EL MAGO!!!!!!!!!
Niceee!!!
i love visionary
Best tagger and best base tagger lmao kid can do it all
half of these are just amazing throws by ross
The Best Tagger and Base Slider
musics good on this
Subbed👍
I'm glad to hear that, thank you!
All of his tags are amazing but at 0:30 he was definitely safe.
No he wasn’t lol, it’s so obvious to see him tag the arm
Def tagged his right arm
Did anyone notice the game 1 of NLDS at first twice
Cindy Iniguez I was at that game
Raise your hand if ur a Boricua🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🖐🖐🖐
🖐🖐🖐
normally i dont like the vids with music but i actually like this music lol
Good video...
Trevor Johnson Thank you!
It's not always the recipient of the throw that makes the plays most of the time it's the catchers arm
He's to good
Only Javi B could have an entire video compiling just tags
True.
Javy is BAEz....hehehe
I freaking love him so much💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️
Báez el mejor del año 🎖️⚾
Not particularly a fan of his, but I love how he points to Ross after the throws in respect.
W Minogue are you insane????
W Minogue you must not be watchin him play cause thats the biggest buncha bs ive heard ina while lol
one thousandth liker :)
Dudes a stud, and if he can keep from swinging at garbage he'll be crazy good, not that he isn't already
3:49 This was incredible. And it really wasn't close.
One of my favorite plays @ 2:30. One thing though, could someone explain to me how the f*ck he catches the ball @ 3:49 really! how the hell?? Wowd
You can only be a great tagger when they throw the ball directly over the base and you can get it to the base in front of the baserunner before hes safe.
U need to do more Javier Baez vids
I think we need to talk a little bit more about the best catcher of all time..... David Ross
1:30 is more of a great throw by davis ross
Yes, but its' also impressive to catch the ball on the bounce while the guy is sliding right into your glove.
Ry.the.Stunner actually he wasn’t sliding into the glove yet.. Javy has i b4 he got to the glove.. the throw was on the money
I love Baez. But if he just gets on base more and hit a little better he would be one of the most elite players in baseball
He's off to a great start in 2018!
Gary Z yessir 2nd in NL with RBIs
Drizzle And now he is starting at second base in the All Star game.
Now leads NL in RBI, batting about .300.
you got your wish. He is an absolute monster now.
You better do one for the catcher because if it wasn't for his great throws Baez wouldn't have had most of those tags!!
can't stop rewinding to 2:00
the hardest to tag..
is the best on tagging..
That throw at 1:34 holy shit
조아
Awesome video - what song is that your playing?
The first song is "Visionary" by Farruko, which plays from the beginning until about 4:12. The second song, which plays from 4:18 until the end of the video, is "Informer" by Snow. Those songs are Javier Baez's walk-up songs.
left ✋ magic
That Giants one that got overturned look close but it also looked like he got him on the arm I thought he got off the bag at first
I'm a big time cub fan. Baez is the best defensive player in the infield that we ever had period! Name one better?
The quicker hands in MLB
He mad tags a cool thing lol
those latinos make such great middle infielders
1:36 He keeps the glove in the same place the whole time
