Track Record: Bauman was recovering from Tommy John surgery when he was invited to a pre-draft workout by Angels scout K.J. Hendricks. Bauman showed significant power across his arsenal hitting 98 mph during the workout. The Angels drafted Bauman in the 13th round and he debuted in the Arizona Complex League making a pair of appearances post-draft. Bauman began 2024 with Low-A Inland Empire.
Scouting Report: Bauman shows a classic three-pitch mix with a four-seam fastball, curveball and changeup. His fastball sits 92-94 mph with above-average ride and late armside run, he generates a flat plane of approach to plate, upping the swing and miss traits on the pitch. His curveball is a two-plane breaking ball with significant depth and horizontal break that sits 77-79 mph. Bauman’s changeup is his sitting 84-85 mph with tumble and fade. Bauman’s command is below-average.
The Future: Bauman will likely move to the bullpen in one innings stints where his fastball and two-plane breaking ball will work in middle relief.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. CB: 50 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 40.
