Western Nevada RHP Dylan Baker continues to gain support from the scouting community on the possibility of him sneaking into the first round of this year's draft. He is now 7-0 on the season with a 0.25 ERA, giving up only 1 earned run in 35.1 innings of work. He has started 8 games, completing 2 of those, giving up only 14 hits while striking out 48 and walking 20. His most recent effort was a complete game, 7 inning win over Southern Idaho in which he struck out 9 and gave up only 3 hits and 1 walk.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Baker has been consistently 91-95 and up to 96 with his fastball, maintaining that velocity deep into games. He has also thrown a sharp 78-81 curveball and a 81-84 slider.
