After serving primarily in a relief role his freshman season, Baxendale emerged as Arkansas’ friday night starter early in 2011.   
 
When I have seen Baxendale, his fastball has been 88-91 with good movement.  His secondary pitches are a sharp curve and a change with the curve being his top offering.  Baxendale also worked on a cutter at the Cape in 2010.
 
Baxendale has a low 3/4 arm slot.
