Brennan
Baker

Baker stands in at 6-foot-0, 147-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 5.14 home to first. Offensively- Sets up square to the pitcher with his feet just outside shoulder width. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat just above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a quick stride forward while his hands move back into his hitting position. Could have more of a trigger with the hands moving back to set up the swing. Good lower body rotation clearing hips and using his whole-body frame throughout the swing. Shows quick hands to the hitting zone with a level barrel path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Demonstrated good plate coverage and line drive ability up the middle and to the pull side. Recorded an exit velocity of 69 MPH. Defensively- Frames well with a quiet body and glove. Good throwing mechanics down to second with quick feet. Needs to throw downhill more to be quicker and lower pop times. Blocks well keeping the ball in front and is athletic getting back up to his feet. Was accurate on throws recording a positional arm velocity as a catcher at 66 MPH and a pop time range of 2.19-2.28.
