Abstract: We find explicit probe D3-brane solutions in the infrared of the Maldacena-Nu\~nez background. The solutions describe deformed baryon vertices: $q$ external quarks are separated in spacetime from the remaining $N\ensuremath{-}q$. As the separation is taken to infinity we recover known solutions describing infinite confining strings in $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory. We present results for the mass of finite confining strings as a function of length. We also find probe D2-brane solutions in a confining type IIA geometry, the reduction of a ${G}_{2}$ holonomy M theory background. The relation between these deformed baryons and confining strings is not as straightforward.
