WATCH: Javy Baez with incredible defensive gem

---

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javy "El Mago" Baez is making his time count as he fills in for the injured Addison Russell. On Monday night against the Pirates, Baez pulled off one of the best defensive plays of the year as he dove to grab the ball and then threw a missle to beat the baserunner at first base.

Check out the video below.
