Fantasy Impact
Scott Baker throws strikes but does not possess over-powering stuff. His fastball is 91 mph but has good movement on his two-seamer and an effective slider. He did strike out Justin Upton three times but had difficulty putting other batters away. He could be a useful fantasy asset later in the season because he won't beat himself but there are questions as to how the rotation will play out in the future.
