Scouting Report
Baumgardner seems to get better everytime we see him. This event, he entered as a two way prospect instead of pitcher only. Showed good athleticism by running a 7.26 - sixty. Equally or more impressive, he displayed a 84 mph arm out of the OF, which was an event best. He rounds the ball exceptionally well and displayed on target throws. Offensively, he started in a spread stance, and displayed a quick stroke and was able to find barrels consistently. On the mound, his velocity was down a tad, but i contribute that to summer baseball. He displayed a FB with arm side run at 82-83 mph. His SL sat 59-60 with considerable break to go with a CH at 64-67 with fade at the plate. Overall, Baumgardner is one of the top overall prospects in the class and won't be available much longer.
2.24.19 - On the mound, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound primary Pitcher worked out of a 3/4 slot. His FB sat 84-86 mph with good arm side run. His SL shows serious potential to be a put away pitch at 71-72 mph and 10/4 shape. His CH has good life and solid deception at 74-76 mph. He uses his bottom half well to get down the hill, along with a quick arm action toward the plate. Overall, Baumgardner is very impressive on the mound, and will be a highly sought after pitcher in the 2020 Class.
