This move seems rather quick, as Luken Baker was the second round selection of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2018 draft. He was on a tear to start his professional career, and that was rewarded with a promotion.
Baker got the good news after just 24 at bats with the GCL Cardinals. It is hard to deny that the call up is earned, but there is argument to be made about how quickly it happened.
GCL Performance
Eight games and 24 at bats is hardly a long time. But, Baker knocked 12 hits during that short time.
