Cubs super-utilityman Javier Baez is an impressive athlete. He has elite bat speed, a strong arm, and would you believe the ability to make ridiculous tags?
If not, consider Baez's latest effort -- a nifty hook-tag on a stolen-base try:

Pretty, right? And effective, since Baez's tag was the difference between a steal and an out.
By the way, Baez entered Sunday hitting .271/.309/.435 with 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases. He's done that while seeing action at five positions. Solid.
