Who knows, maybe it is just a hot streak and a few weeks Javier Baez is back to swinging and missing at sliders in the dirt, but holy crap has he been awesome.
Baez is 3-for-3, so far tonight and his sixth home run that he hit in the first inning wasn’t even his best display of electricity. In the fifth inning, he smacked what looked like would be a simple single, but Baez was aggressive and legged it out for a double.

Then, on a grounder hit to the right of Baez, he was aggressive again, advancing to third. He was called out initially, but after video review he was rightfully called safe.

That’s when Cubs fans filled Coors Field with Javy chants and I don’t know why, but it gave me goosebumps.
Is this his arrival? Is Javier Baez on the verge of becoming a star? I don’t know, but damn has been a joy to watch and this moment was awesome.

The most electric player in the sport since his very first game.

UPDATE
He’s 4-for-4
Coors crowd chanting, "Javy! Javy!" as he drives in two more runs with his fourth hit of the day. He's making every AB look like batting practice.
