Stop me when you’ve heard this one before — Javier Baez just made an unbelievable defensive play.
The Cubs utility infielder has built a reputation for making the impossible look easy. Well, he was back at it tonight as the Cubs opened up a huge four-game series against the NL East-leading Washington Nationals.
In the bottom of the third, Baez fully laid out to rob Bryce Harper of a sure fire single. What makes it even more impressive is the fact the ball exited off Harper’s bat at an astonishing 114.7 mph.
Check out this sorcery.
