Baack turned in a complete game effort in a big playoff moment, allowing just one run on five hits while punching out seven. The senior sat 87–90 and touched 91 with his fastball, working with tempo and commanding the zone throughout. He showed confidence in his secondary mix, featuring a changeup at 81–84 with late depth and arm-side run that played well off his fastball. His curveball showed tight 11–5 shape in the 75–77 range, flashing sharp bite and feel to land it in all counts. Baack’s composure and pitchability stood out on a night where he controlled the pace from start to finish. He also chipped in with a go-ahead RBI single in the third, continuing to provide value on both sides of the ball. A competitive, well rounded performer with polish and mound presence.

Baack turned in a dominant playoff outing, striking out 13 across 6.2 shutout innings. The lean right hander sat 87-89 mph and touched 90, mixing in a 79-83 mph changeup with late fade and a sharp 76-79 mph curveball that showed late break. Showed poise working out of traffic and the ability to miss barrels in key spots. If he can maintain a mature presence on the mound and fill out a bit, I can see him being a reliable bullpen arm at the next level.
