Player Outlook
Drake 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.

    Rotowire

In the end, Baldwin was part of Atlanta's build-up to tie the game in the eighth inning before he swatted the decisive homer in the top of the ninth. This was the rookie's 100th game, and he's up to 15 homers on the year while adding 62 RBI, 41 runs scored and a .280/.351/.462 slash line. He was right in line with those marks in August, batting .284 (23-for-81) with 21 RBI over 23 games for the month.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Slugs solo homer in narrow loss

    Rotowire
    Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 loss to Miami. The rookie catcher has now logged at least one hit in eight of his last 10 outings, and he crushed his 14th homer of the year. With Sean Murphy falling out of manager Brian Snitker's favor in 2025, Baldwin has capitalized on the opportunity as Atlanta's primary backstop. Baldwin is slashing a promising .278/.343/.458 with 12 doubles, 36 runs scored and 58 RBI over 329 trips to the plate.

    Rotowire
    Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Plates five runs across twin bill

    Rotowire
    Baldwin went a combined 4-for-9 with two runs and five RBI across both games of a doubleheader sweep of Miami on Saturday. Baldwin started at DH in the matinee before moving behind the plate for the nightcap. He was productive in both contests, driving in two runs in Game 1 and three more in Game 2. The first-year backstop has a pair of five-RBI performances across his past three games to go along with his six-RBI effort July 21 against San Francisco. He continues to be a strong contender for NL Rookie of the Year honors with a .289/.357/.477 slash line, 13 homers, 31 runs and 51 RBI over 86 games.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Notches career-best six RBI

    Rotowire
    Baldwin went 3-for-4 with two doubles, six RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over San Francisco. The rookie backstop gave his team a 3-1 lead when he plated three runs on double in the first. Baldwin then returned in the fourth to knock home two more on a single before wrapping his career night by driving home one on a double in the sixth. Thanks to a solid .290/.358/.488 slash line with 11 homers, eight doubles, 39 RBI and 25 runs scored in 229 total plate appearances, Baldwin is emerging as a favorite for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Belts homer No. 10

    Rotowire
    Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles. The rookie backstop accounted for all of Atlanta's offense when he crushed a Charlie Morton fastball to right field in the sixth inning. Baldwin has hit a bit of a wall over the last couple weeks, going just 2-for-18 since June 24, but both hits left the yard. On the season, he's slashing .274/.348/.476 with 10 homers and 28 RBI, and Atlanta seems content to deploy a timeshare behind the plate with Baldwin and Sean Murphy, with each catcher starting five of the last 10 games.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Socks ninth homer

    Rotowire
    Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets. The rookie backstop took Clay Holmes deep in the fourth inning to briefly tie the game at 1-1, before the floodgates opened for the Mets in the bottom of the frame. Baldwin has started two of every three games lately as he takes a firmer hold of the top job over Sean Murphy, and over his last six games he's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two of his nine homers on the season, plus five runs and seven RBI.
