Game Performance

Notes

Comments

6/09/25
Well known to our staff, INF/RHP Luke Baer (Ozark) continues to impress with consistent performances each time out, and remains a high-priority uncommitted name in Missouri’s soon-to-be senior class. The physical 6-foot-3, 195-pound two-way talent found the barrel often during BP, using a long, leveraged right-handed swing to square up his hardest ball at 96.9 mph. He flashed arm strength across the diamond at 87 mph, and later hopped on the mound, sitting 85–87 mph with his fastball during his bullpen. Baer spun one of the event’s top sliders—a 72–74 mph offering with sharp sweep and up to -17.7” of horizontal movement—and also showed a deep pitch mix that included a tumbling 73–74 mph splitter and a 73–75 mph changeup that averaged 12.8” of horizontal action. With strength, versatility, and feel for a full arsenal, Baer continues to stand out as one of the more complete uncommitted players in the 2026 class.
