Baker has an athletic build at 5-foot-11 165-pounds. Ran a 6.90 60 yard dash, exit velocity topped at 90 mph. Offensively- LHH with a lot to like. Little effort in swing, ball jumps off bat.

Shows some quickness in swing and strength already. Still has room to fill out body. Creates lift with a balanced finish. Defensively- throws topped at 81 mph from a 3/4 slot.  Level shoulders leading into throw, long arm action. Fields ball in front of body allowing him to carry momentum toward target.
