Scouting Report: One of many table-setters in the Bulldog lineup...perhaps the player with the highest ceiling for development on the diamond …a basketball junkie growing up who is now focusing on baseball and has already shown amazing devopment with the glove and bat…a left-handed hitter who has a natural ability to get barrel on the ball…good speed with outstanding range at third base…has shown tremendous strides physically as well with significant weight and strength increases…a cagey player who is currently just at the beginning stages of a budding collegiate baseball career.

Personal: Born June 22, 1988 in Los Angeles, CA…son of Paul and Shauna Acker…one brother Mac (17)…cousins Tyler (basketball, Central Washington University) and Reese (baseball, WSU) Baker played collegiately…scored 1500 on the SAT…nickname is Keegs…chose Bellevue because “it was the best choice”…heard about the Bellevue’s baseball program from summer league teammate and former BCC standout Jesse Wight…also considered Edmonds, Everett, and Columbia Basin College…lists greatest baseball thrill as hitting a home run…self-described as smart…goal is to well this year.
