I think a big part of why the cubs are a much better team than they were 3 or 4 years ago is there defensive play. yeah the big bats help but when you have the best fielding 3rd basemen in Bryant and the best fielding 1st basement in Rizzo, as well as a stellar infield, it really provides a boost for the entire team, especially to the pitcher, when they make a great play.
Like I said over a month ago, Javier Baez should be playing almost every day. Did everyone see him in the NLDS? Baez was the MVP of the series hitting safely in all 4 games, game winning home run in 8th inning in 1-0 win in game 1, game winning rbi single in 9th inning in game 4, multiple defensive gems made at second base, led all regulars with 4 runs scored in series, and he and Bryant tied for most hits 6 and highest batting average at .375. The guy is an absolute beast of a player at age 23. I sure hope Jason Heyward can improve on his 1 for 12 and .083 batting average he had in the NLDS. But for now, Javier Baez is one of the main reasons the Cubs have advanced to the NLCS. Baez... clearly the MVP of the 2016 NLDS!
Top 10 Draft Choice And His One Full Season In AAA He Hit .300 With 37 Hrs And 111 RBIs In About 145 Games That Should Tell You The Potential Once His Bat Lights Up
I really hope that Baez learns to be more patient with pitches as a batter because he could be just as good if not better than Russell then as an overall baseball player then. I really hope that the Cubs hold onto him because the duo of Russell and Baez in at SS & 2B will prevent so many hits from opposing teams for the long haul!
This guy is an absolute nightmare for opposing teams, which is unfortunate, seeing as how I'm a Dodger fan. He's not making things easy, that's for sure...
Jerry Krause was once asked why he drafted a center when the Bulls needed a guard. He replied, "cuz you can't teach height". Just like you can't teach all the intangibles Javy brings to the table. His glove, arm, tags, bat, base running, sliding and hustle. He's nowhere near the best SS in history but if I'm picking a team, he's my #1 pick cuz his baseball IQ is off the charts and you can't teach that....
Best Defense on the team. He could become best offense later on in his career if he can keep from chasing so much. This guy is... well, whenever someone tells me baseball isn't athletic, I give them a link to Baez highlights to shut em up.
He didn't play enough in the positions to qualify for the Gold Glove or they would. It's sad because he deserves it. Next year he'll be our Second Basemen period. Zobrist will play right, and Schwarber will play left. Heyward will make cameo's in right during times we need his defense and can suffer the offensive blow that is his inability to time his bat up. They may put him in Center Field if we can't keep Fowler or find a replacement for him. Although Matt Szczur has proven he can play Center Field so then again, if Matt can clean his game up... Why on earth would we need Heyward then..
Fun video!! Perhaps Baez's most impressive move is at 4:41 when blows a bubble with his gum while making a play.
plus rizzo is a great 1st baseman, i love these vids!
That’s the best move I’ve ever seen
baez has more highlights individually at third, ss, and 2nd then most players do that solely play those positions. incredible.
He's a guaranteed highlight everytime he plays. Cubs are such a loaded team.
This didn’t age well
@@ryanschindel4400 Hate that it didn’t work out into a dynasty... Every play on this video remember watching em like it was yesterday..
My favorite Cub!
Mine too!
Mine too. I always acknowledge guys like Bryant and Rizzo are the best players on the team but Baez is my absolute favorite.
this kid has potential and he is very young
Excellent video. Thank you so much for making it
Thank Baez for being a boss
That's fun to see all the Javier Baez defense highlight plays of the season since 2016 on TH-cam.
I'm Puerto Rican wow its awesome to see Baez fellow Puerto Rican doing what he is doing.
Love these Baez highlights. Thanks!

simplygu playing everyday where? The spot where the best hitter for the Cubs in the World Series plays?
Nice video…Javy is so much fun to watch 😀
Wow this cat is amazing. Not even a baseball fan, but stuff like this could convince me :)
Javy Baez will do that to you. He's a real treat to see, even if you're not a Cubs, or even a baseball fan. :)
the play at 7:46 would be a highlight for the ages if he was out. gotta love javy.
At 4:39 dude blows a bubble with his gum mid-play. Absolute beast.
Blondes could take some pointers from him:P
I've seen this video a couple times and I don't know why I haven't subscribed til now
at like 1:04, I was thinking to myself, "this is a different cubs team pujols!" but seriously how does baez do these Godly plays?
4:30 Baez is so cool, he pops his gum mid play. 😎
This guy's getting a big fat pay raise during the off-season.
Isn't. He just so fun to watch
this kid is unbelievable
Love they way Javier Báez play
4:40 but they aren't gonna talk about that sick bubble gum bubble he blew?
No kidding, that's the first thing I noticed
Right?!? Lol
JAYcovey706 haha lol me I saw that too
Jay Brovey thats the 1st thing I saw !
I like 4:30 angle. Its like did I just see a bubble.
He is so dynamic. Once a generation type of player that'll make baseball more fun to watch

Puerto Rico is killing it at WBC. Very proud of all of them! #TeamRubio
Please update with the amazing post season Javi Baez!
Love his tags out!
Best fielder ever
One of the most electrifying players in the league right now!
LEGEND
I LOVE BAEZ
Puerto Rico has the baseball Dream Team.
Tirate PR Jake Arrieta is Puerto rican?
Tirate PR arrieta and stroman are both American
R Douglas Idk about stroman but i googled and turns out arrieta is part puerto rican.
+R Douglas +Ricky Farrell
Stroman is 50% Puerto Rican and Arrieta is 25% Puerto Rican ..
Liam Burke Arrieta and Stroman are both part Puerto Rican. Had they wanted to play for PR, there'd be nothing wrong with it
Future Gold Glover FOR SURE.
I don't know about anybody else that I honorable mention play is one of the best plays in the last 10 years
It was honorable mention because it ended up being reversed. Had it stayed, it would have been the Top #1 Play throughout the year for all of MLB.
Iceslab no
Spencer.27. Yes
Go Javier Baez
Baez is my favorite player by far
You should add some of the tags he makes. That's what separates him the most from other great fielders.
+Maciej Wojtasik I made this video a while back and I couldn't really find some of his tags, I might make an updated video in the future
Dude...you have 2 of them in your Contreras video alone. ;)
Maciej Wojtasik and
Maciej Wojtasik I have a compilation of that on my channel.
and you're saying this 2 years ago and he has gotten better
BEAST!
I love baez
Suddenly, I love baseball.
Javy Baez is my favorite player. I look up to him because I do little league

His best was the honorable mention.
if he was out on that last one they could have inducted Baez into the hall of fame on the spot
Baez is amazing
1:34 Just when I thought I had seen everything....
Best Defense on the team. He could become best offense later on in his career if he can keep from chasing so much. This guy is... well, whenever someone tells me baseball isn't athletic, I give them a link to Baez highlights to shut em up.
he makes it look so damn easy...
Just give him a gold glove already lol
He didn't play enough in the positions to qualify for the Gold Glove or they would. It's sad because he deserves it. Next year he'll be our Second Basemen period. Zobrist will play right, and Schwarber will play left. Heyward will make cameo's in right during times we need his defense and can suffer the offensive blow that is his inability to time his bat up.

are you stupid heywards starting zobrist is in left schwarber can be cleared to catch, we dont need matt in cf we have jon jay
Equinox Edits Wilson is are catcher you idiot
Oh how wrong you all were...
nelson diaz lmao
God Dam!!! Javier needs to be careful so he doesn't get arrested for robbery!!!!
los cubs con la mejor de fensa baez
Great but when you update it please add some tags!
A beast at wgat he does🔥🔥🔥🔥⚾⚾⚾⚾
Baez can do anything
4:42 blowing bubbles
Good morning javier u r a bad boy ,ur awesome
BEST PLAYER
He makes the play blowing AND popping a gum bubble!!!
GOAT
at 7: 46 the runner was safe
someone should create a remix of "moves like jagger" and rename it to "hands like Javy"
When Javy was in the minors, all we heard about was his bat. Goes to show you...
AB Smith took all of his frustrations from being sent to the minors and took it out on being a beastly defender
They should called it out because it was maybe the greatest play of all time but ump messed it up
4:41 Fuckin guy blows a bubble with his gum mid pick-up. Brilliant
Blowing a bubble at 4:32... lol
Best part is that he's not a natural righty!!!!
pongan mas videos de los cubs
LEGAND
El mejor👍💯
Es buenísimo las jugada son buenas
El mejor
go cubs
4:41 Baez blows bubble while charging.
do more of these
He kinda reminds me of Jeter laying out for everything and making the full effort
How is this only 8 minutes?
1:20 I was at that game. Sat upper deck left field
did they move baez around in the infield?
Jabier Baez tiene la mejor defensa que muchos the mago
El Mago!!!
My Friend who hates the cubs said that Baez sucks, I started cracking up
@2:57 didnt even put his hand in the glove to transfer the ball...
A lot Rizzo's glove was a factor in these as well. :)
Rizzo saves Javy and Russell a lot of errors a la Mark Grace saving Dunston and whatever scrub 3rd baseman the Cubs had.
Stop making fun of Vance Law.
Luis Salazar was the shit, no joke!
sure, but they all start with an amazing catch.
Hipster face.........No it starts with locally grown produce and Pabst Blue Ribbon
Go javy
I know you wont believe me but hes my neighbor!
Just Another Gamer bullshit
Just imagine if that last one was with Albert Pujols running... seems like only Machado gets to gun him out on throws from third.
Bella
hagan el de Leonys Martin
my favory pelotro
how many positions does he play
2b, 3b, ss
and 1st
what glove brand do he have?
+Shadarria Garrison SSK, not many players use them I believe
Jnev Design Cubs I can tell.
Cubs are the best
