Drake Baldwin does a little of everything in victory

Drake Baldwin

ATL Catcher #30

Player Stats

Drake Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base as the Braves took down the Diamondbacks 5-3 on Sunday.

Baldwin got the scoring started with an RBI single in the bottom of the third before swiping second base to remove the double-play threat. The 25-year-old has put together a remarkably similar campaign to his rookie year, validating his strong debut. The difference this season has been playing time. Baldwin has started every game since June 26, mostly hitting in the top two lineup spots, which is rare for a catcher. He’s the most valuable backstop in dynasty formats and will come off the board as one of the top options at the position in 2027 redraft leagues.

Drake Baldwin went 1-for-4 on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Baldwin started this game with a lead-off single and the Braves didn’t put another runner on base until the fourth inning. After that, they hit one more measly single in the seventh and went the whole game without putting a runner in scoring position. Nevertheless, Baldwin has cemented himself as one of the best offensive catchers in baseball with a .274 batting average, 20 home runs, and .809 OPS.

Drake Baldwin went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Marlins.

Baldwin’s two-run single capped off a three-run second inning that gave the Braves all the breathing room they’d need in a win over the Marlins. That pushed him to 59 RBI through just 91 games this season while a good chunk of his games have come as a lead-off hitter. He also has 20 home runs and a .272/.363/.462 slash line as he’s emerged as one of the best young hitters in the game.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. is starting in right field and batting leadoff on Monday against the Mets.

Not only is Acuña Jr. at the top of the lineup, but he’s right back into the outfield, which is a great sign for his health. Drake Baldwin will DH this game and hit second, with Joey Bart starting behind the dish and hitting eighth.

Drake Baldwin went 5-for-5 and homered twice while stealing a base to lead the Braves to an 8-5 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Baldwin also scored three runs, and both homers were solo shots. The 25-year-old took Nathan Eovaldi deep for the first blast — one of three homers Eovaldi allowed in the contest — and he took Ben People deep for his 18th homer of his strong sophomore campaign. Baldwin is also up to six stolen bases on the year, and his slump in the latter portion of June appears to be well over.

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin went 3-for-4 with a homer and five RBI in Friday’s win over the Rangers.

Baldwin got the scoring going for the Braves in the second inning when he singled to drive home Dominic Smith to put his team up 1-0. He would break things open for the Braves in the fourth inning when he blasted a three-run homer off of Cal Quantrill to give the Braves a 5-0 lead, and drove in one more run in the fifth inning to cap a stellar performance. Baldwin is now sitting on 16 homers for the season and is well on pace to crush his rookie total of 19.

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin went 2-for-4 and hit a grand slam versus the Mets on Sunday.

Baldwin’s slam off Huascar Brazobán came as part of a six-run ninth inning in which the Braves almost overcame a seven-run deficit. It was his first homer since June 16, when he went deep in his first at-bat off the injured list. He’d been 4-for-59 with no extra-base hits, no RBI and a 24/3 K/BB since that homer. What he clearly needs is more at-bats with the bases loaded; today’s slam was his first, but he’s 10-for-17 with five walks and just one strikeout lifetime with the sacks jacked.

Drake Baldwin is at catcher and hitting leadoff on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Baldwin finds himself back atop Atlanta’s lineup for the second straight contest. He’s gone 3-for 48 with one homer and 22 strikeouts in 12 games since returning from the injured list as he struggles to regain his timing at the dish. There’s zero reason for fantasy managers to panic since his track record suggests he’ll snap out of it and get back on track eventually.

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin has been dropped to fifth in the Braves lineup against a right-hander on Friday.

Baldwin crushed a homer in his first at-bat back from the injured list 10 days ago, but since then, he’s gone 1-for-31 with 19 strikeouts. He did hit sixth Tuesday, but that was against a lefty. This is the first time he’s hit lower than second versus a righty this year. The Braves have Michael Harris II and Mauricio Dubón occupying the top two spots tonight.

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Padres.

Baldwin has gone 1-for-29 with 18 strikeouts since homering in his first at-bat back from the injured list on June 16. The 25-year-old burgeoning fantasy stalwart has struggled to regain his timing at the dish after ostensibly skipping a minor league rehab assignment. He’ll get a break to reset mentally prior to Friday’s series opener against San Francisco with Joey Bart handling the catching duties. Baldwin feels like a phenomenal buy-low candidate in shallow fantasy leagues at the moment.

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin is at catcher and hitting sixth on Tuesday against the Padres.

Baldwin has gone 1-for-25 with an eye-popping 15 strikeouts across six games since homering in his first at-bat back from the injured list last week. The 25-year-old rising star has looked out of sync at the dish after basically skipping a minor league rehab assignment. It might take him a few extra games to knock off the rust and get his timing back, which is why he’s been moved down in Atlanta’s lineup for the moment.

Edward Cabrera developed a blister on his right middle finger during his start Sunday, but he’s optimistic he’ll take his next turn.

Cubs fans would probably prefer he didn’t. Cabrera, who missed time back in May with a blister, is due to face the Mariners next weekend, but the team has flexibility after the off day Thursday.

The Red Sox will start Alec Gamboa, with Brayan Bello expected to follow, in Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

Bello has been excelling out of the pen, so the Red Sox won’t mess with what’s working by having him start. Given that the bulk role makes him a better bet for a win, Bello is a streaming option tomorrow. Unfortunately, he probably won’t get a second bulk appearance, with the Red Sox having Thursday off, but maybe he’ll make another lengthy relief appearance next weekend if Patrick Sandoval is shaky again.

Casey Mize pitched three-hit ball for six innings in the Padres’ 5-0 shutout of the Guardians on Sunday.

Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon and Yuki Matsui completed the three-hitter. Mize settled for three strikeouts today. Oddly enough, the 22 splitters he threw produced zero whiffs or called strikes. However, they did generate outs all six times they were put into play. Mize improved to 5-7 with a 3.18 ERA overall. He’ll take on another familiar foe when the Twins travel to San Diego next weekend. Both his four wins and his five losses versus the Twins are the most he has against any team.

Tanner Bibee surrendered three runs in six innings Sunday against the Padres to take his fourth straight loss.

Cleveland was shutout in a Bibee start for the fourth time this year. Both he and Joey Cantillo have made 26 starts for the Guardians this season. Bibee has allowed 71 runs in 150 1/3 innings (4.25 RA/9). Cantillo has allowed 62 runs in 125 2/3 innings (4.44 RA/9). Bibee, though, is 4-13, whereas Cantillo has gone 9-7. Bibee will next face the Rockies in Coors, which might lead to some run support.

Luis Rengifo went 2-for-4 and hit his fourth homer Sunday versus the Guardians.

The Padres got four homers today from players who had combined for 22 previously this season (15 from Gavin Sheets, three from Rengifo and Jake Cronenworth and one from Jase Bowen). Rengifo is hitting .323/.411/.473 in 27 games for the Padres. All four of his homers have come with his new team; he went without one in 57 games with the Brewers.

The slumping Travis Bazzana went 0-for-3 against the Padres on Sunday.

Bazzana is still drawing walks, but he’s hitting .189 with only one extra-base hit in his last 21 games, leaving him at .235/.332/.372 overall. There might be a slight chance of the Guardians sending him down at some point, clearing the way for Angel Genao to play second base regularly.

Jake Bauers went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in the Brewers’ 6-2 win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

The Brewers take three out of four in L.A. Bauers had three previous four-hit games in his career, but they all came in 2018 or ’19. Today’s pushed him up to .275/.384/.500 on the season. That .884 OPS is 212 points better than his career mark of .672.

Logan Henderson limited the Dodgers to one run and three hits over seven innings in a victory Sunday.

The Brewers probably could have had Tarik Skubal if they were willing to send Henderson to Detroit, but the right-hander again demonstrated today why that would have been a bad idea. It might not be totally correct to say Henderson outdueled Skubal today — one got good defensive support and one didn’t — but he did come away with the win in the matchup. Henderson still hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of his 12 starts this year. He’ll take a 7-2 record and a 2.70 ERA into his next start versus the Braves.

Skubal gave up seven hits and nine hard-hit balls, but he struck out seven and was let down by his defense a couple of times in the game. He’s now 0-2 for the Dodgers, even though he has a 3.18 ERA in his three starts. He’ll face the Pirates next weekend.

Jackson Chourio had three hits, including two doubles, and three runs scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

The second double should have been an out at Miller Park, as it went off Kyle Tucker’s glove at the wall in right. However, it also would have been a homer in 23 ballparks, according to Statcast. Chourio snapped out of a little 2-for-19 skid today. It’s the third time this year that he’s scored three runs in a game.
