Cubs second baseman Javier Baez is one of the standouts for his team with his wizardry on defense and his big-time power at the plate.

However, Baez was featured for his body on the cover of the upcoming issue of ESPN's The Magazine's Body issue.

The provocative issue will hit newsstands starting July 7.
