RHP/OF Caden Baker (Mukwonago, 2027) put together an interesting look as a two-way talent on Saturday. As a pitcher, he works with a balanced and rhythmic delivery from a 3/4 arm slot and finishes well out front through the baseball. His fastball worked 80-81 through the catcher which set up the rest of his repertoire. The projectable right-hander’s curveball looked like an out-pitch swing-and-miss weapon with two-plane breaking shape which included depth and sweep to the pitch through the hitting zone. As a position player, Baker whips the bat through the hitting zone and logged a 93.5 mph max exit velocity which was the best mark among the 2027s in attendance. The outfielder also showcased his talents on defense working through the ball with athleticism and quality actions and was up to 84 mph from the outfield. Baker will continue to fill out his 6-foot-2, 175 pound frame and our staff sees a good deal of upside to this two-way prospect.
