Scouting Report

Assets
  • Command and sound mechanics are Baek's biggest assets. He throws a few different curveballs, a change-up, slider and low-90's heat.
Flaws
  • As a starter, he needs to work on his stamina. Overall, his lack of a really dominant pitch could be a problem at the big-league level.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
