The Reds knocked off the Cubs on Wednesday by a score of 7-4, and the ninth inning provided one of the better highlights/lowlights you will see. Check out the incredible cut that Javier Baez took on a heater from Aroldis Chapman pitch in the 9th. The result was Javy ending up on the ground with a little egg on his face.
Javy was just called up by the Cubs, and this is a nice reminder of what the big league’s are all about. Hard not to love the hack he took though.

Baez to PH. Baez vs. Chapman. can't wait for the wind generated with Chapman's fastball and Javy's swing.

Baez swung and missed on a 99 mph fastball, loses his footing.
