A combination of pedigree and performance has earned Baez multiple Top-30 nods from national outlets before his 20th birthday. After signing for seven figures last January, a few days after his 18th birthday, Baez impressed in his DSL debut with a .305/.351/.552 slash line in 222 PAs, connecting on 9 HRs and striking out 56 times vs. 14 walks. Baez is 6’1” with present strength and remaining projectability, and while his run times are just okay he’s athletic enough to remain in an outfield corner long term. His approach is pull-heavy and aggressive and may need to be toned down at higher levels, but his ability to lift the ball to the pull side with frequency is promising.
