Baez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Sat, Apr 11, 2026 at 8:45 AM

Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

Scouting Report

Has tremendous bat speed and can generate a wealth of power. Aside from being a pure hitter, he helps himself offensively by stealing bases. In the field, he has a great throwing arm and pretty good feet. As he continues to grow, the shortstop position may not be an option at the big-league level. Also, he needs to tone down his act a little when between the lines, since he can grate on opponents now and then.

Long Range Potential: Versatile power hitter.
