Baca played one year at Northeastern Junior College and then three at UNLV. His numbers at UNLV weren’t impressive, but the Rebels typically had a staff ERA well over 6.00 (in 2008 it was over 7.00), so they probably played in a hitters’ environment. Baca seems to have done best when he pitched strictly in relief. He doesn’t throw hard, topping out around 87-88, but is a strong groundball pitcher.
2009: Served as State College’s primary closer and put up just fair numbers. 2010: Had good first half for West Virginia, posting 2.10 ERA before SAL All-Star break, but 8.80 after. Overall, allowed too many hits and walks, with only fair K rate. Baca played one year at Northeastern Junior College and then three at UNLV.

Baca appears to be strictly an organizational pitcher who’ll eat up relief innings. He doesn’t look like he’s ready for the next level and so could return to low A in 2011, although he wasn’t on any roster at the start of the season. |
