Scouting Report
10/8/17 Working out of a high 3/4 arm slot FB sat 82-83 and showed subtle arm side run. SL at 67-68 mph was best pitch on this day with 11-4 shape, tight spin and late, sharp break. CH at 74 mph was commanded well with considerable depth and fade. Baumgardner would benefit from more aggressively connecting glove hand/elbow to front/hip as well as driving chest over front knee. Baumgardner remains interesting follow in class of 2020
6/13/17 Baumgardner pitched out of a high 3/4 arm slot with a short arm action and repeatable delivery. There is tendency to step close and block hips with associated first base fall. Baumgardner showed a quick arm on FB 81-83 with arm side run and sink. CB 69-70 with 10-8 shape, good depth and bite. CH was thrown at 71-73 with little movement. Arm strength and secondary offerings make Baumgardner interesting follow in class of 2020.
