Trace Baker played two seasons at UNC Wilmington, where he was predominantly a relief pitcher. 39 of his 41 appearances came out of the bullpen. In 2025, he rocked a 2.24 ERA, a 25% strikeout rate, and a 7% walk rate. Last year, his arsenal consisted of three pitches, a fastball in the mid 90s, a slider in the low 80s, and a mid 80s changeup. 

Expect Baker to stick as a relief pitcher unless the Blue Jays have some crazy idea of converting him to a starter.
