START. THE. SEASON.
Javy Baez isn’t always hot in the spring – historically, he’s not been a good Cactus League performer – but the dude is crazy hot right now. He was on fire coming into tonight’s game, and already had a single when this happened off of not-a-chump starter Kyle Freeland:

That thing looked like a Coors Field shot. And even though Javy had to go down to get it, the ball was absolutely obliterated:
