George Baker gives Louisville a steady, left-handed catching presence
In the 2026 season, Louisville catcher George Baker has been a regular behind the plate, starting 17 of his 25 appearances and hitting .206 with a home run and 8 RBIs. He’s a left-handed bat who brings experience, toughness, and a reputation for grinding out at-bats, while his defensive value shows up in the way Louisville keeps trusting him at catcher. The upside is more steady contributor than star, but if a team wants a physical, reliable backstop who can handle the staff and chip in offensively, Baker is a sensible fit.
