Baez was originally up with the 1977 inaugural Mariner team, getting his first taste of the Big Leagues and appearing in 91 games for the new franchise, hitting .259 with 79 hits over 305 official at-bats.
In 1978 he fell to only 23 appearances, batting .160 with eight hits in 50 at-bats, generally playing second base with a few games at third.
Turns out that would be it for him in the Majors, as he would go on to play another season of Minor League ball in the St. Louis Cardinals organization before going on to two seasons of Mexican League ball until 1980 before retiring.
For his MLB tenure, Baez finished with a .245 average, collecting 87 hits over 355 at-bats in 114 games, all for the Mariners.
