Thibo Baeten Scout Report
Thibo Baeten is a 22-year-old, Belgian striker plying his trade with Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie. His style of play is characterized by his involvement in the build-up of the game, with high percentile scores in Ball Recovery (75%) and Progressive Carrying (75%). His ability to create chances also stands at 82.14%, demonstrating an impressive sense of vision on the field. His talent in these areas suggests that he is an intelligent and technical forward who is comfortable with the ball at his feet.
However, despite his overall involvement, his goal output is disappointing for a striker. With a Goal Efficiency rating of only 28.57%, a Goals per 90 of 5.56%, and an xG per 90 of 3.7%, Baeten's apparent struggle to find the back of the net is concerning. His low Goal Threat of 3.57% reinforces this concern. With his Shots per 90 at 22.22%, his conversion rate may be a point of focus for improvement.
His pass accuracy of 59.26% and Progressive Passing of 60.71% demonstrates a reasonable ability to link up play, while his Assists per 90 at 70.37% and xA per 90 at 62.96% shows potential creativity.
Still youthful and clearly talented, Baeten’s skill lies in his ability to retain possession and create chances. However, his performance as a striker could significantly improve if he refines his ability to convert those chances into goals. At the tender age of 22, time is on his side and with the right development, Baeten could grow into a prolific forward, fusing his goal-creating capabilities with game-sealing finishes. Needless to say, eyes should be kept on this promising young Belgian talent.
