Javy Báez has made an impressive comeback with the Detroit Tigers, transforming from a struggling player to a leading hitter. In just 34 games, he has surprised fans and analysts alike. His recent performance against the Boston Red Sox highlighted his impact, including scoring from third on a pickoff error and hitting a crucial three-run homer. The Tigers, unexpectedly on a winning streak, have rekindled interest in their games. Despite some past struggles, Báez is now a fan favorite and pivotal in the team's success as they compete for the World Series.
Once one of the sport's most exciting young talents with the Cubs, then an absolute washout who OPSed below .600 in back-to-back years.
Báez has pieced himself back together. Now, he's a leading hitter on Baseball Reference's World Series favorite.
It was Javy who was responsible for extras in the first place, scoring from third on a botched pickoff from the Boston catcher.
Báez had struck out swinging a couple times, chasing the kind of slow knee-high delivery he'd crushed in the middle of the game.
