3. Baez Throws A Frickin’ “Lazer Beam”
It’s hard for me to say that without thinking about Dr. Evil from “Austin Powers” but the throw Baez pulled off during the semi-finals of the WBC was an absolute lazer. With Puerto Rico holding a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, Baez gunned down a runner that would have given the Netherlands the lead in the game.
Take notes, kids. This is how you execute a relay. https://t.co/0sNO2CZecV #WBC2017 pic.twitter.com/9bQggvUneW

That throw was clocked at 89.6 mph which would have placed it as the third fastest relay throw in 2016.
Insane.
