08/04/2013 - College PREP - Dublin (Columbus), OH
Maxwell is an athletic catcher with a strong arm. Behind the plate, he sits in low and shows good flexion. He moves well laterally and centers balls off of his chest, keeping them in front. He has quick footwork and works in-line (pop times as low as 2.07). At the plate, Baker displays good balance and a solid base. He makes consistent contact with the ability to use the whole field. Improving his rhythm will help to get into a loaded position earlier and utilize his lower 1/2. As a 2014 graduate, Baker has the defensive ability to make an impact on the diamond.
The chart below shows the levels of college baseball, along with the range of players with potential to be recruited at that level.

Tool Grade Scale
Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "present" abilities (tools), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.
Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year, using the scale below. However, grades 10-18 are not available for use with High School players (ages 14-18), while grades 55-70 are not available for use with Pre High School players (ages 12-14). These instances are marked as "--- N/A ---" in the "Description" fields below.
