Hailing from the Dutch Eredivisie, Julian Baas, a keen Central Midfielder, is making waves, proving that at just 22 years old, age is just a number. Our scout report sheds light on Baas as a resilient force in Excelsior's midfield, with his ball recovery in the top 10% of his league, demonstrating an innate knack for regaining possession deftly. His commendable 79.73% duel win rate only adds to this image of a robust midfield wall. This is not to say there is no room for growth. Baas exhibits areas for improvement, particularly in terms of progressive carrying and passing, both of which could benefit from refining. His style of play leans on caution and defense rather than flair and creativity and so developing these aspects of his game could enhance his effectiveness. In front of the goal, his stats paint a moderate picture. His goal efficiency and xA per 90 exceeding half of the midfielders in the league, but his threat in the goal box rests at a meandering 28%. This aligns with his possession stats, which show he operates predominantly in the midfield rather than in and around the penalty area. Despite his weaknesses, Baas' style of play shows a player who is not afraid to get stuck in and dirty his boots. However, his proclivity for fouls may explain the rather high yellow card rate of 81.08%, identifying scope for him to balance his aggressive approach with smarter decision-making. His impressive aerial duel win rate and interceptions affirm his defensive strengths. In summary, with an iron will in midfield recovery and starring in aerial duels and interceptions, Julian Baas emerges as a formidable defensive midfielder. Yet, fans would be thrilled to see him improve on his offensive metrics and craft sharper attacking instincts. Can this young Dutchman rise to the challenge? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure - Baas has captured the eyes of the football fraternity.
