There are not many fans in Chicago that would argue, Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez is the most popular player in a Cubs uniform these days. Baez has captured the imagination of young baseball fans, impressed players and fans across the board with his defensive “golden-glove” caliber play on the field.
On offense, Baez continues to come to the plate without an ounce of fear. His aggressive swinging style earns both praise and criticism from fans depending on how it affects the rest of the team’s production.
When Baez gets on base, he is in a whole different league as he steals bases and uses his “swim move” to avoid the defensive tags.
