Baker's numbers tell a clear story: across 11 appearances as a replacement, his tackle output consistently drives his contribution, averaging over four tackles per outing with a single-game peak of 16. His carrying load is modest by design, reflecting the focused defensive role he fills when introduced from the bench. That ceiling of 16 tackles in one match points to an ability to absorb significant defensive pressure when called upon.
