With his second 4 K outing in 10 games, Javier Baez tied Cal Ripken Jr., Frank Thomas, and Willie McCovey for career four-strikeout contests.

He's sure going to be fun to follow, but hopefully he slows down on accumulating these bad boys.

In his defense, Mike Fiers was pitching out of his mind today; 14 Ks in 6IP...

This will continue until he changes his approach. He swings out of his shoes too often. It looks great when he connects, but it doesn't help you become a successful major leaguer. I watched him in the Rays series recently and I swore he struck out in over half his ABs in the series.

Carlos Gomez disagrees! :) Seriously though you are right. There are very few Major Leaguers who could take that approach and be successful with it.
