Robert Buddy Baker has a thin, athletic 5-foot-11 frame. It is a slightly narrow, wiry frame with room to grow. The Nansemond River sophomore has some two-way intrigue, but it is mostly on the mound where he made an impact as a freshman. Baker was up to 80 this fall and had a solid outing in the Mid-Atlantic Fall State Games. See more on the 2025 standout.
