The Chicago Cubs are one week from playing their home opener against the Brewers on July 24.
On Friday night, the Cubs had another intrasquad scrimmage and Javy Baez smacked a laser shot to left center against righty starter Colin Rea. It was his second straight game with a homer.
Check out a fun slow-mo video of the homer:
