What happened: Báez went deep six days after hitting three home runs in his major-league debut.
Why it matters: The production strengthens his case for continued late-season at-bats. His August call-up preserves 2027 rookie eligibility if he remains within MLB's at-bat and service-time limits.
By the numbers: Báez drove in five runs in his first three MLB plate appearances, and his first big-league swing traveled 449 feet.
What to watch: The next test is whether he can sustain the power as pitchers adjust.
