Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound junior outfielder was named the Most Valuable Player at the WWBA Upperclass Southeast Labor Day Perfect Game Tournament in September. Baez hit two home runs in nine at-bats over three games at the event for Beast Mode Prime 2021 and reached base safely every time he came to the plate. A transfer to Dexter Southfield for his junior year, Baez posted a .423 batting average with 25 runs scored and 18 RBI as a sophomore for Snowden International School, earning MVP honors at the Boston City League championship game as he led the Cougars to the title.
