Pitching Style
Through the 2011 season, Baker threw six pitches: a four-seam fastball, his lead pitch (89–94 mph); a two-seam fastball (88–93 mph); a cut fastball (mid 80s); a slider (low 80s); a curveball (79–81 mph); and a changeup (low 80s). His repertoire against right-handed hitters is mostly four-seamer/slider, while against lefties he throws the two-seamer, as well. The cutter, curveball, and changeup are infrequent offerings.
Baker has been a good control pitcher throughout his career, finishing in the top 10 in the American League in strikeout-to-walk ratio ratio three times.
