EL MAGO! Javy Baez Takes a Good 0-2 Pitch and Send It to the Seats (VIDEO)
The Chicago Cubs have their first run and first homer of the year, and it comes from Javy Baez doing extremely Javy Baez things.
On a very good 0-2 pitch by Mike Minor, Baez somehow did this:

That was 395 feet out to left on a pitch that was really well thrown, down below the zone. It was a chase pitch to go for the strike out. But Baez somehow got the barrel on it. Wow. He’s probably still good.
