He patrolled first base most of last season for the Bradenton Marauders before he was dealt to the Baltimore Orioles for the Derrek Lee.
Well, Baker returned to McKechnie Field on Saturday and promptly hit his first home run of the spring, a no-doubter over the wall in right to tie the score at 6 during the top of the eighth.
Baker his .282 with 15 home runs and 73 RBIs in 103 games in Bradenton last season before the trade. He hit .386 in 12 games with the Orioles' high Single-A team in Frederick last year before he was bumped to Double-A Bowie, where he hit .196 in 15 games.
