WATCH: Javy Baez crushes homer that nearly hits videoboard

---

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez hammered a solo homer to left field near the top row in the left field bleachers just below the video board. He even did a 'Sammy Hop' immediately after he hit the ball.

It was his first homer of the season and it put the Cubs up 2-1 over the Pirates in 2nd inning.

Check out the video below:
