The Cardinals are going to promote outfield prospect Joshua Báez. Manager Oli Marmol tells reporters, including Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, that Báez will be in tomorrow’s lineup. Mike Rodriguez of Rompiendo Sports had the scoop earlier today. Báez is already on the 40-man roster so only a corresponding active roster move will be required. Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat notes that infielder César Prieto‘s locker was being clearing out after today’s game, so he is probably being optioned as that move.
Báez, 23, was the club’s second-round pick in 2021. Since then, he has continued to add more and more power but with lingering concerns about his strikeouts. From 2021 to 2024, he made 896 plate appearances across various minor league levels, striking out in 34.4% of those while hitting 24 home runs.
He showed big improvement last year. Splitting his time between High-A and Double-A, he hit 20 home runs in 499 plate appearances while only getting punched out at a 20.6% clip. That was enough for the Cards to give him a 40-man spot in November, to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. This year, he has taken the power to new levels but the strikeouts have ticked back up. In 461 trips to the plate, he has already launched 34 homers but has also gone down on strikes at a 29.5% pace.
More to come.
