"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."
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.
