The complete meltdown and magical comeback of Javier Báez
By Kyle Feldscher, CNN Baltimore (CNN) — Javier Báez came to Detroit as a two-time All-Star, a Gold Glove winner, the spark plug known as “El Mago”
A recent viral video by MLB analyst Rob Friedman, known as Pitching Ninja, highlights unique moments involving star infielder Javy Baez. The short clip first showcases Baez's notoriously aggressive approach at the plate, with Friedman humorously remarking, "I'm convinced Javy Baez would swing at a pickoff attempt." The video then draws attention to the unusual setup of the catcher, Christian Vazquez, during one of Baez's at-bats. The second segment of the video features a memorable ceremonial first pitch thrown by rapper 50 Cent, with Javy Baez again positioned at the plate. The juxtaposition of these two distinct baseball occurrences, both involving Baez, provides an entertaining look at different facets of the game, from player quirks to celebrity involvement.
