LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 Rocky Mountain Showcase
Joshua Baker is a 2019 2B/SS with a 6-0 165 lb. frame from Thornton, CO who attends Holy Family. Medium build with room to fill to frame. Ran a 7.52 second 60 yard dash. Primary second baseman who plays both middle infield positions, moves in to the baseball smoothly, fields slightly into his body but still gets into a good gathering position, developing hands that could be smoother when recognizing hops, showed some fluidity to actions when moving into release, accurate arm across with average arm strength that should play nicely at his primary second base position, topped out at 73 mph from across the diamond. Righthanded hitter, sets up with arms tight to body, leg lift trigger into stride, lift present in swing, incorporates his hips really nicely into stroke, could work on keeping upper half in sync with lower body, showed some barrel feel working the ball to all fields, hits the ball deep letting it travel nicely, should continue to improve with minor adjustments.
