Hamid Baker  
Relief Pitcher | Creston Kokanee

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Baker also has a decent changeup. Steals sometimes unnerve Baker, who isn't blessed with extraordinary self-confidence. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
A decent fielder, Baker is quick around the mound and has good instincts. Baker would seem to be an easy target for basestealers as he has a pedestrian pickoff move. But teams rarely try to run on him, perhaps because his pitches get to the plate quickly. Baker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Baker has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
The Creston Kokanee signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Baker like a hot potato if something better comes along.
