Scouting Report: Joshua Baez
St Louis Cardinals | RF
Overall
Summary
Joshua Baez is a 23-year-old outfield prospect for the St. Louis Cardinals currently playing at Triple-A Memphis. Born in Boston but raised in the Dominican Republic, Baez was drafted by the Cardinals in the 2nd round in 2021. He is known for an elite power-speed combination, having been one of just two minor leaguers to record 20+ home runs and 50+ stolen bases in 2025. In 2026 at Triple-A, Baez has shown impressive power with 10-11 home runs and 7 stolen bases over ~40 games, though he continues to struggle with strikeout rate (34.3%) and consistency (.233-.229 batting average). He is ranked as a top-100 prospect nationally and the #6 prospect in the Cardinals organization. Recent reports indicate a power surge with 4 home runs in his last 6 games, making him a priority stash candidate for fantasy purposes.
