What Javy Baez Isn't Doing

It's been awhile since we've posted an article here at NSBB.  In the meantime, if you haven't heard, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.  It's true:  The Chicago Cubs are defending World Series champions.  One of the contributing factors to the Cubs' championship run was Javy Baez's stellar play at various times during the post-season.  Most obvious during the playoffs were Baez's athleticism and keen awareness in the field.  He also produced some defining moments with his bat during times of considerable importance.  However, he did strike out 21 times in 71 PA.

Striking out isn't something new to Javy Baez.  He's always struck out.  A lot.  Except, right now, he isn't striking out very much.  To be fair, he's only had 20 PA in Spring Training, during which he's struck out but twice.  But he's also been playing in the World Baseball Classic, in which he's only struck out 3 times in 21 PA.  Before we get any further, I should mention that Spring Training stats really don't matter very much, if at all.  I think you all know that.  But it's important that I inform the reader that I, also, am aware of such.  So, even though I am writing an article about Javier Baez's Spring Training stats, let's all agree to not take much from this article.  I'm merely writing this to bring to attention something that might be worth keeping an eye on.
