Cover Athlete

COVER STAR: Javier Baez in action for the Cubs in The Show 19

“El Mago”, which translates to “the magician”, is a suitable nickname for a player who has dazzled the baseball world with his defense and hitting for years and years on end. 

Whether Baez is stealing a base by evading a tag, making impossible catches look easy or pulling off his signature no look tag – his skills are unparalleled and he always does it with swagger.

Báez also produces at the plate too, hitting 34 home runs in 2018 with a .290 batting average.

Here’s what Baez had to say about the honor along with a look at the cover athlete:
