Watch: Javy Báez Hits Left-Handed Against Reds

We’ve seen the videos of Javy hitting tanks from the left side in batting practice, but he finally got to try it out in a game. Báez, a natural left-hander, took an AB as a lefty against Kyle Farmer, a position player pitching for the Reds in a 12-5 game. I really, really wanted Javy to launch a home run there. Oh well.
