2026 Fantasy Outlook
Baldwin drew high praise from Chris Sale and other veteran members of the Atlanta pitching staff early on in spring training, and an injury to Sean Murphy cemented Baldwin's status as the team's primary catcher to begin 2025. The Madison, Wis. native would go on to slash .274/.341/.469 with 19 homers and 80 RBI across 446 plate appearances, winning NL Rookie of the Year. While his pop times and framing metrics left a bit to be desired, Baldwin graded well in terms of blocking behind the plate. Statcast suggests Baldwin actually underperformed by BA and SLG as a rookie, as his low strikeout rate (15.2%) and quality batted-ball numbers portended slightly better. Assuming Murphy is healthy to begin 2026, the two players will likely split catching and DH duties, with Baldwin having the leg up for playing time as the No. 1 catcher on the depth chart. Entering his age-25 season, Baldwin has shown enough of a skills baseline to be worthy of top-10 consideration at the position. Read Past Outlooks
