Power Prospect Joshua Baez Demolishes Triple-A Ahead of Potential Promotion
St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez is generating massive fantasy buzz after a historic four-homer, seven-RBI game for Triple-A Memphis, pushing his minor-league-leading total to 23 home runs. He has no recent major league appearances and is not currently on the active roster for the second-place Cardinals, who hold a 40-32 record. He remains optioned in the minors, with Jordan Walker currently serving as the primary starter in right field.
Although Baez lacks major league career stats, his immense power surge is completely legitimate, backed by multiple exit velocities exceeding 110 mph. While his raw home run power is undeniable, fantasy managers should expect some initial contact and strikeout regression whenever he makes his big-league debut.
The Cardinals have three games remaining this week on the road against Kansas City, but Baez will not be active to face scheduled starters like Noah Cameron or Seth Lugo. While he is an elite stash candidate in dynasty and deep bench leagues, he remains a Sit in all active weekly lineups until the club officially calls him up.
