Baez has now won back-to-back titles after prevailing at the event in Kitzbuhel, Austria, earlier this month. He needed just 1 hour, 34 minutes to down Lehecka on Saturday.
Lehecka was headed toward a first-set victory after taking a 3-1 lead, but Baez stormed back, winning four straight games to take control. Lehecka pulled within 5-4, but Baez took the next game on his second set point to secure the early edge.
The second set followed a similar pattern, as Lehecka took a 2-0 lead before Baez once again prevailed in four consecutive games, this time going up 4-2. Lehecka pulled within 4-3, but that was the closest he would get.
Baez won 31 of 42 first-service points while racking up 28 winners. Lehecka had 21 winners, but he was hampered by five double faults and 14 unforced errors.
