I can't stop watching that 5:24 slide over and over again. The way he transition pops up from slide to standing in one fluid motion,

This is so bittersweet to watch now. Thanks for all the memories, Javy.

Having Javy Baez and Molina as a catcher on the Puerto Rico's team is a blessing

The real life Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez. Javy deserves his own shoe. I would buy them.

You can teach baseball skills but this is straight up instincts. You either have it or you don't. Javy is baseball encyclopedia. No one thinks the way he does in the majors.

1:40 he baited that catcher into throwing down to 3rd lol. I love his energy for the game. Glad hes on my team

Javy does things that no other baseball player does. He is an extraordinary athlete with an equally extraordinary mind and extraordinary instincts. His ability to dodge tags, apply tags, find his way to home when getting picked off, his defense in general, his hitting, everything he does is exciting as all hell to watch.

As a young life long Cubs fan it’s so heart warming to have watched him turn into a star

They call him “El Mago” for a reason

So much fun to watch this guy play!

I remember when fans was saying trade baez during the first couple of season when baez was struggling in the bigs. Now where are those haters at. Every year he has gotten better and better and one thing this video shows is he gives it his all and strides to be better than the day before. 2018 was a breakout year and I look forward to the rest of his career and enjoying videos like this because there will be many more highlight moments

Baez is AMAZING! He's smart and magically escaping difficult tags!
@eliasayala2370 5 years ago

He's the best tagger of the baseball I ever saw tho
@AloysiusDente 5 years ago

It didn't matter but crazy good throw at 7:04
@akorn9943 3 years ago

I don’t think anything will ever be as magical as what he just did to the Pirates, goddang Javi
@jasonm7625 5 years ago

So impressive. It’s almost like he can slow down time and make his adjustments and avoid the tag only he’s doing it in real time. Like a real life Neo in The Matrix or Quicksilver in X-men
