Let’s just say that Javier Baez isn’t shy about swinging for the fences.
The Cubs rookie has recorded nine home runs (and struck out 24 times) in his first 14 games but none of them went as far as this one that he hit against the Mets at Citi Field.

Baseball could always use more ridiculously long dingers and strikeouts, so Baez is pretty much perfect for the sport.
