At the first Michigan event for Prep Baseball Report—in June 2012—Baar made his presence known immediately, registering the highest velocity of the day by topping out at 84 mph. A rising junior at the time, Baar pitched with long, lanky levers. Just a month later, Baar was sitting 86-88.
The following spring, Baar threw the first no-hitter of his career, striking out 11 and touching 88 while showing better command and an improved breaking ball.
