so he like kevin banks level and going to be a difference maker as a freshman? 

He is possibly a Banks-level talent, but the o-line room that he will be walking into next year will be so much stronger than what Banks entered in 2022 that Baker may not be a day one starter his freshman year.

Here's his Junior HUDL for anyone interested. I'm not a "WATCH TEH TAPPPEE!!" guy but, god damn, this dude moves like someone half his size:

From my VERY amateur perspective, I don't think he's quite as talented as Banks, but there's absolutely ZERO shame in that and he still looks like an absolute monster. As someone else pointed out, continuing to get guys like this is how you become Bama/UGA. I am beyond stoked to get his commit

No, he isn't going to push anything at left tackle. He'll compete at right tackle, along with Williams, Goosby, and maybe Agbo.

Williams, Goosby, Agbo, and now Baker with an outside shot at Weston Davis and DeAndre Carter. Not to mention Campbell, Umeozulu, Cruz, Kibble, Chatman, Kirkland, Stroh, Cojoe, Hutson, and Robinson - and they're all being coached and developed by Flood. Talk about a First World Problem. This OL is going to be absolutely filthy for years. We could have Vondrell McGree, Antwon Cobb, Tristian Houston, Kyle Porter, Danny Young, or Toneil Carter runnning behind them and probably still average more than 5 ypc. Hell, post-injury Kevin Shorter could probably get 4 or even 4.5. Instead, we've got or are getting Brooks, Baxter, Gibson, Clark, and even guys like Blue and Red (who I would desparately like to see get more carries, btw)

Someone hit the nail on the head: this is how Bama and Georgia were built.

edited to point out that I'd like to see more Savion Red
