The Most Polarizing Player In Baseball (Obligatory Javier Baez Is Bad Video) 

I did not know there was a tie in a baseball game. That was something I did not expect to learn but is fun fact to have.

I did not anticipate such a low view/sub count given the quality. Great work! I got recommended here after a Jomboy video so hopefully it takes off for you!

This guy is so underrated he needs more views keep up the good work❤🎉

Super in depth research. Well done video dude. Must've taken a long time to get all this info.

2:18 - That high five 🤣

The lack of specialization on that 2016 squad gave it such a little league feel, I love it. Also his lack of plate discipline is wild, he went backwards as he got older. I swear he decides whether or not he's going to swing before the ball is thrown.

Baez got a 6year 140 million contract. At most he should be guaranteed 10 a year with the rest available for games/innings played and certain performances metrics obtained. All baseball contracts should be done this way to ensure players don’t just stop caring. Now obviously the players should have protections (injuries and being intentionally benched not counting against them in this example).

Another high quality vis as usual from the goat

Nice job ... I'm 70 ... say what you want about him ... But this guy is still my all-time favorite Cub ... and I still remain in awe of Theo for his wisdom in selling the core of their WS champs ...

Man those spiders were vicious

Formally known as the Cleveland spiders 😂

great vid, tho the music was super distracting

Great vid

good video, comment for algorithm

Javi is Javi. The absence of impulse control is what made the magic, and it was magic. He fell out of Hall of Fame contention by 2019 and I don't know if when his career is over in 2 or 12 years he will even be considered to have been an above average player but in hundreds of tiny moments he was the greatest player, to watch, that I have ever seen, @72yo.

Bro fr said Cleveland Spiders

Cleveland Spiders!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been saying that ever since I’ve seen videos of people bashing Baez. I think he needs a change in teams because the tigers are known for being a bad team but if he was on the rays for example he would play better. He has the glove he just needs the bat

8:45 "after booing his own fans" (because they were booing him)

As a fellow Puerto Rican and baseball fan wbc Javier Baez is not the same as regular-season Baez.

4:37, it was a 108 year drought not 71 years, just a FYi

Javier baez is the type of guy to swing at a pitch trying to walk him

I bet if the Tigers fanbase was like Phillys' and decided to cheer for him at the plate he would flip a switch like Trea Turner did... or maybe like u said trade him to a contender, so the Dodgers lol

I feel the only miss you have in this video is your mischaracterization of the Tigers as a team with no hope and no future: Tork is about to hit 30 homers on the season, Kerry Carpenter has come out of nowhere to be one of the better pure hitting lefties in the AL, Riley Greene, when healthy, is just few less strikeouts away from being the .300 hitter he was drafted to be, and now the rest of the system is catching up. Justyn Henry-Malloy (3B/OF/DH), Colt Keith (3B/2B), and Parker Meadows(OF) are 3 of our top 10 prospects and will all almost definitely be in the majors on opening day next year, as well as a few complimentary prospects, namely Wenceel Perez and Eddys Leonard (both infielders), and our young pitching staff of Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, and Reese Olson is maturing, again when healthy. With Miggy retiring, Schoop's contract ending, and a new front office getting the time to use this year as an adjustment period, I think it isn't all that crazy to expect the Tigers to make a real push for the Central in 2024, and hopefully that push will revive the spark in Javy. (although as a tigers fan that is known as Javy's chief defender I am a bit biased)

Didn’t even know he was on the Detroit tigers

1.807 slug is insane at any level he’s ops was over 2.000

Split between the majors & minors in 2014, Baez struck out an almost unimaginable 225 times! Most overpaid player? Lots of players could claim that mantle....

the tigers are better off without him, not the other way around.

The Cubs would be trash is they paid their core lmao Tbf I think Baez would be better than he currently is today if he never left Chicago

I don't understand how people still say Baez is overrated, he's been called overrated for years, how long cab you be highly rated but still overrated

No video for him going 2-35? lol

You know its not politically incorrect or racist to refer to the Cleveland Indians by their actual team name.

Dude played hard to get the bag, and then once he got the bag he stopped caring, just like Rendon. They already won a WS before becoming FA’s so what did they have to play for with 9 figures guaranteed? Thats why fully guaranteed contracts are so bad for baseball in general. At
