Breakdown Javier Baez

    Overview

  • He is eligible to play multiple positions including: CF SS 3B 2B . However, he plays CF most often.
  • Experts rank this player at 53rd among OF's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 70th.
  • The current leader among OF's is Aaron Judge
  • He should be doing much better than this. You might be able to get him now for a discount.
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
