Catching up With Former Waterloo Buck Joey Baker. <\/p>\n

<\/strong>Joey Baker is a former Starting Pitcher for the Waterloo Bucks.  Joey was raised in La Jolla, California and played for San Jose State University.  Joey was a tall figure on the mound standing 6’5" and weighing in at 200lbs. 
\n\\\"\\\"
\nDuring his time with the Bucks, Joey had played 14 games and finished with a 6-3 record.  In the 87.2 innings he had pitched, he had a 3.18 ERA, with 67 strike outs and 35 walks.  <\/p>\n

After graduating from San Jose State University, Joey was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 2000 draft (16th round, #464 overall).  Joey’s time with the Royals was short lived though– he was released in 2002 after posting an 11-14 record in the first two seasons.  <\/p>\n

Joey didn’t give up, he joined an independent league and played for the Brockton Rox based out of Brockton, MA.  In his first season with the Rox, Joey had a 9-6 record and a 4.36 ERA with 130 innings pitched in 20 games.  He had a career high 85 strike outs with 22 walks.

 <\/p>\n

After not playing in the 2004 and most of 2005 season due to an injury, Joey struggled to get his career back on track.  Joey went 2-5 in 18 games with a 4.41 ERA the first full year after his injury, and decided to hang up the cleats. <\/p>\n

Joey Baker will always be recognized as a Waterloo Buck– and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. <\/p>\n
