Javier Baez’s sorcery was on full display for the past three weeks during the World Baseball Classic as he gave us some absolutely jaw-dropping moments. His outstanding play helped Team Puerto Rico finish second in the tournament and also earned him a spot on the WBC All-Tournament team.

As a Cubs fan, I almost expect Baez to do something special at any moment in a game that will amaze me (which he usually does) so to watch him amaze millions of fans on the global stage during the WBC was a pretty damn cool thing to see.
If you were like the thousands of other fans who could have cared less about the WBC and chose not to watch, I’ve given you Javy’s top 5 moments from the tournament.
