The St. Louis Cardinals have decided to call up their No. 3 overall prospect, Joshua Baez, after Friday's loss against the Chicago Cubs. The move makes sense considering the season Baez has had in the minor leagues.
The 23-year-old outfielder has dominated Triple-A, posting a .256 batting average, .328 on-base percentage, .901 OPS, 34 home runs and 90 RBIs across just 103 games. He is big-league ready.
Manager Oli Marmol confirmed that Baez would make his debut at Wrigley Field on Saturday, according to Jeff Jones of Belleview News.

With Baez heading to the big leagues, his addition paves the way for the Cardinals to change Jordan Walker's role.
