Braves Invite Drake Baldwin To MLB Spring Training
15 seconds agoThe Atlanta Braves announced on Wednesday that catching prospect Drake Baldwin will be a non-roster invite to major-league spring training this year. Baldwin is considered Atlanta's top prospect, and MLB Pipeline has him ranked as the No. 63 overall prospect in baseball entering the 2025 season. The former third-round pick in 2022 out of Missouri State University hit a combined .276/.370/.423 with 16 home runs, 88 RBI and 58 runs scored in 124 games with Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett in 2024. He will almost certainly begin this year at Gwinnett, but he figures to eventually operate as Sean Murphy's backup in the big leagues eventually with Travis d'Arnaud no longer in town. Baldwin hits from the left side and stands at 5-foot-10, 210 pounds. With an excellent approach at the plate and few strikeouts, Baldwin has the upside of a starting catcher for Atlanta down the road.
