Andrew Baker thriving after trade to Rockies, finds success in Triple-A

Andrew Baker, a reliever for the Colorado Rockies, is experiencing a breakout season at Triple-A Albuquerque. Since joining the Rockies from the Phillies in May, Baker's new pitch, a gyro slider, has become integral to his success, leading to an elite strikeout rate. His performance has been bolstered by offseason work in Puerto Rico, where he helped his team win a championship. While adapting to pitching at altitude, Baker continues to refine his technique and approach on the mound as he aims for a potential call-up to the majors.
