Baker tossed 6.0 no hit innings against Frederick before his pitch count alleviated his chance for a no-hitter. He toyed with a cutter/slider, which I was told is still a work-in-progress. It's not even worth grading at this point. I think Baker ends up in the pen, as his CH is far behind the other two pitches and does not show much promise. He has some exertion in his delivery. While not max effort, it makes me believe he will be most useful in the bullpen where his fastball can play up. He has a good one-two punch with the FB and CB.
