2025 Fantasy Outlook
Once Baldwin got out of Mississippi (the worst Double-A park to hit in), his season took off. He slashed .298/.407/.484 with 12 homers and almost as many walks (52) as strikeouts (54) in 72 games at Triple-A. Baldwin followed that up with a .377/.452/.491 triple-slash and a 9:8 K:BB in 13 Arizona Fall League games. Baldwin showed last year that his command of the zone and bat-to-ball ability (79.7 Contact%) are pretty elite relative to most upper-level catchers. This helped lead to a 32.6 percent hard-hit rate and a 16.3 percent soft-hit rate, which are excellent marks for any minor-league hitter. With Travis d'Arnaud moving on, Baldwin is a clear top-two catcher on Atlanta's organizational depth chart from a talent standpoint, as of late November. Chadwick Tromp is still on the 40-man roster and is out of options, but Baldwin is a better overall player and should spend most or all of 2025 in the big leagues. Sean Murphy is coming off his worst full big-league season, and whether he can bounce back and handle 100-plus games will greatly impact Baldwin's output. Read Past Outlooks
Taking seat Friday
Baldwin is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Baldwin has received the lion's share of starts at catcher against right-handed pitching lately, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench as the Padres send righty Nick Pivetta to the hill. Sean Murphy is catching and batting sixth for Atlanta.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Receives vote of confidence
After going through a workout together Tuesday, Chris Sale said Baldwin has an "unbelievable work ethic" and is "doing all the right things," reports Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
ANALYSIS
Baldwin is Atlanta's top prospect and may now have a chance to start Opening Day after Sean Murphy suffered a fractured rib Friday, so some public encouragement from Sale holds a bit more weight than it would have a week ago. Baldwin played in 72 games at Triple-A Gwinnett last season and had an .891 OPS and 52:54 BB:K in 334 plate appearances. The 23-year-old has a good chance of making his MLB debut at some point in 2025 even if he doesn't crack the Opening Day roster.
