Scouting Report
11.18.18 - The 6'2 200-pound RHP worked out of a 3/4 slot. FB sat 84-85 and touched 86 mph with good arm side run. His SL shows potential to be his put away pitch at 70-72 mph. His CH has life and good deception at 73-76 mph. He uses his bottom half well, to go along with a quick arm action toward the plate. Baumgardner's arm and athleticism make him a high follow in the 2020 class for West Virginia.
10/8/17 Working out of a high 3/4 arm slot FB sat 82-83 and showed subtle arm side run. SL at 67-68 mph was best pitch on this day with 11-4 shape, tight spin and late, sharp break. CH at 74 mph was commanded well with considerable depth and fade. Baumgardner would benefit from more aggressively connecting glove hand/elbow to front/hip as well as driving chest over front knee. Baumgardner remains interesting follow in class of 2020
6/13/17 Baumgardner pitched out of a high 3/4 arm slot with a short arm action and repeatable delivery. There is tendency to step close and block hips with associated first base fall. Baumgardner showed a quick arm on FB 81-83 with arm side run and sink. CB 69-70 with 10-8 shape, good depth and bite. CH was thrown at 71-73 with little movement. Arm strength and secondary offerings make Baumgardner interesting follow in class of 2020.
2/24/18 On the mound works out of mid 3/4 arm slot with excellent balance, rhythm and utilization of lower half. Mechanics of delivery are much more efficient and lower effort than when last seen. Mechanical improvements translated to excellent command to all quadrants of zone of three pitch mix. FB sat 84-85 mph with late run and sink. CB at 73-76 mph demonstrated 11-4/5 shape with late, sharp sliderlike break. CH at 73-76 mph was thrown with good sell and considerable fade/sink. Athleticism and quick twitch skills are reflected in recorded 4.22 home to first time.
