It’s turn out to be a punchline at this level: Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez actually does swing at all the pieces.
We’ve seen him wave a bat at a pitch that’s like five feet off the plate. We’ve watched pitches that seem like they’re deliberately thrown into the other side of the batter’s field flip right into a strikeout. There have been swings at pitches that bounce in front of the plate.
You get the concept. And it’s turn out to be a giant drawback, as he’s batting a woeful .217 with simply 9 dingers this yr.
However it’s additionally turn out to be a meme, and I’ve now seen it used a bunch for unhealthy first pitches just like the one we saw from Stephen A. Smith:
