When you hear the announcers say “hopefully he’s okay” multiple times in a defensive highlight video. There’s NO denying this guy gives it his all every time he suits up
I'm a Braves fan, but I always like Baez. The situational awareness and play making abilities make him a joy to watch. That run back to home oh my goodness i will never forget that.
Cubs fan here. Always compared the Russell-Baez-Rizzo trio as the Cubs modern Tinker to Evers to Chance combo. As the poem says, Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: Russell to Baez to Rizzo. Cheers....
Javy was batting .300 for the Mets hes a career .260 hitter. he has to lay off swinging at sliders but defensively and as a base runner hes going to give you above average play. He can have a comeback season in Detroit. He is proven in the playoffs and is a good locker room guy
Does anyone else believe a change of scenery with meaningful games will bring out the best of Baez? I realize he just got to The Tigers and he did sign the deal but if i'm a team close to contention, i think I would try to acquire him? I would love for my San Francisco Giants to trade for him! His deal is reasonable for a 30 yr old player with his defensive skills and rbi potential. I don't mind the free swinger approach.... I think you can hit him 6th or 7th and not have the strikeouts hurt you too much.... The Tigers could use more top rated prospects and we do have a couple of solid shortstop prospects we could entice The Tigers with.... The recent trend is not good with Javier Baez but hard to believe such a young player is declining this rapidly! It does happen though.... Guys get stubborn and refuse to make adjustments. Farhan Zaidi get The Tigers Gm on the phone and get a deal done!
I've been a big fan of his since 2015 and was thrilled when he signed here in Detroit. I really hope he can figure it out, when he's on he's one of the most entertaining players in the game.
el tiro de un bounce de Baez en la mayoría de las jugadas es un tiro premeditado de hecho es exigencia principal para cualquier primera base que sepa recibirlo.
As a Mets fan, it left a bad taste when he gave us the thumbs down for simply booing him for playing like shit. But watching this back, he is one of the best defensive players in the game without a doubt
Javier baez is trash the dude sucks he's the worst ss in the worst division in baseball he makes a ton of errors strikes out more times then I can count and just makes brain dead mistakes
The hand,eye coordination of this man is nothing short of phenomenal! Not since the likes of Derek Jeter has anyone come close to to the glove wizardry of Baez.
Derek Jeter was not a good ss. Adequate in his prime. The GG and ESPN highlights were bias and marketing to east coast consumers. Check his D-war stats
Lots of "Wows" throughout this video ... incredible player, but why would a team let him go? The first year he played, I thought he should be signed to a very long-term contract. Malcontent? I never thought so as a fan, he's just exciting to watch. He fields some absolute rockets in this comp and shows an arm to envy. Rizzo also made several saves that helped.
Cubs let everyone go. They didn’t have money to pay everyone. Pretty much Houston rockers type situation. Everyone got traded or left to walk in free agency
Gee.. watching Baez is phenomenal--but can we talk about Rizzo's first baseman skills? They're both awesome!
Because it's a Baez' defensive plays videos...
As a Tigers fan, I can tell you that without Rizzo, he led the league in throwing errors.
yea bro that Báez/Rizzo combo was insane
I’m a lifelong White Sox fan but Baez was/is a beast. Can’t believe the Cubs didn’t hold onto that guy.
@@randyladiski3743 oh my God! you didn´t said that!
Báez is the Puerto Rican Gandalf "You Shall Not Pass" 😂🇵🇷
I love this kid, just wish that he can put everything together in one season cause he can have an MVP type season with his talent.
Doesn't matter who Javy plays for he's always incredible. Miss him in Chicago.
He’s the worst short stop in the league on the tigers
Say that to the Tigers lmao
Watching Javy is pure fun and admiration of this great sportman. Rizzo and him…pure synch. Javy sigue pa’lante, positivo!!
When you hear the announcers say “hopefully he’s okay” multiple times in a defensive highlight video. There’s NO denying this guy gives it his all every time he suits up
I can watch his highlights all day. I watch what ever team he plays for. He's the best Defense of player.

Cant wait to see him play for PR again🇵🇷

He can be frustrating to watch with the bat but his glove work is amazing.
had to watch this after his great performance in the WBC
God ain't the word how bout genius my fav. For life ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉

Buenos dias Familia y buena SALUD para con tod@s especialmente MENTAL. LOVEEEEEEEEEEE IT 💯🇵🇷
even though he low key forgot where the strike zone was he is crazy defensively
Baez might be my favorite player ever
Has so many of them a talent 🇵🇷😂
He's incredible
El y Rizzo juntos eran increíbles pq no todos los tiros eran perfectos
el tiro de un bounce de Baez en la mayoría de las jugadas es un tiro premeditado de hecho es exigencia principal para cualquier primera base que sepa recibirlo.
Muchos de ésos tiros los tuvo que ejecutar apurado y no en una buena posición de tiro. Si buscaba acomodarse para tirar hubieran llegado safe.
Wow 💯💪⚾️

Y’all booed a man who was hitting 300

El Mago, Ladies and Gentlemen!!!
the magic man of baseball
El mejor 🇵🇷
i could watch javy do this all day

Nice vid bro! Baez the goat 🐐
Thank you bro!
No problem! I’m subbed and your videos are so good keep up the good work!!
Great Year incoming looked locked in at WBC
dat boi gud!
wow super defence
People can say he’s overrated, obsolete or sucks at bat, he is still an awesome player.

Defensively he was good for Chicago - but he practically closed his eyes in the batters box. RBI’s win games more lol
Cubs let everyone go. They didn’t have money to pay everyone. Pretty much Houston rockers type situation. Everyone got traded or left to walk in free agency
Seguro Si Es Team Rubio....❤🎉🇵🇷🔥
Glad he plays for Detroit
El Mago
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💪🔥
Lowkey a rizzo highlight tape as well
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🙏💪🏻
Cubs should of kept him, Rizzo, and maybe Bryant.
El Mago..........
He gets rid of that ball so fast you'd think it's on fire
When Bryant, Rizzo, and Baez went away from the Cubs, I went away from the Cubs. After, at 67 years old, was a lifelong Cubs fan.
2017 baez was the zenith
To busy watching him swing at pitches in the dirt to see this
Defensively he's a monster but Rizzo is no slush either. The thing is he needs to work in his batting skills.
Rizzo will have a spot in the hall.
"God" is probably a strong word here. Just saying.
Should’ve stayed at New York, but Detroit it is, he looked amazing at the WBC
LA BASTIA 🇵🇷
9:20 12:10 8:47
In 2023, Baez's WAR was +0.6. The Tigers paid him $22M and he was basically a replacement level player.
Javy should get serious consideration for Best Defensive Infielder of All Time.
Porque creen que le dicen el mago
Yesssssssssss 😂
Tiene que ser Boricua
Pero no es mejor que tatis jr 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
@@frankpolanco2772 Moldio todavía.
@@frankpolanco2772 tu de vrd estas convencido de eso?
Es 10 mil veces mejor jugador que el puyado de tatis Jr
@@frankpolanco2772 para que te crean tienes que decirlo con mas seguridad, por que ni tu mismo lo crees.😂
No one is in God mode, Eduardo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Correct! There is only one GOD!! Although Baez is no doubt one of the best infielders ever.
Since getting to Detroit he’s been horrible at hitting the ball.. but his defensive play is still 👌
If only he didn’t swing at every ball thrown in his vicinity
Ya but then he gets benched Base running IQ is -999
As flawed a player as he is, I really wanted to see him get re-signed by the Cubs.
He got rizzo making splits and struggling harder than a fat ballerina
Rizz is so smooth for a big man. Dude has hands for days
Yeah. This headline didn’t age well.
I wish Baez had been cheap enough to just come home…. But damn tigers who ruin players… I mean yes he was on decline… but he’s only 31
You could make an equally long video showing all of his errors too. 26 of them in 2022
Hes a bum glad the Mets didn't sign him
PUERTO RICO PRIDE 🇵🇷
Tiene que ser Boricua
