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
In control at Triple-A
Baldwin is slashing .297/.412/.479 with 11 home runs and more walks (47) than strikeouts (45) in 62 games for Triple-A Gwinnett.
ANALYSIS
Baldwin's 31.2 percent hard-hit rate, 80 percent contact rate and 15.6 percent strikeout rate are all high-end marks for an upper-level catching prospect. Atlanta has an $8 million club option on Travis d'Arnaud for 2025, while Sean Murphy is locked up long term, so it's unclear how large Baldwin's role will be in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Clearer path to majors
Baldwin has a clearer path to a major-league roster spot since Atlanta declined Travis d'Arnaud's $8 million club option for 2025, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old is one of the top catching prosects in baseball, but he doesn't have much of a path to regular playing time with Sean Murphy locked in behind the plate for Atlanta. Still, the departure of d'Arnaud, who subsequently signed with the Angels, leaves Atlanta without a clear backup catcher. The organization likely wants Baldwin to be getting regular playing time, which could open the door for Chadwick Tromp to open the season in the No. 2 role.
