Fantasy Impact:

Baldwin’s .313/.436/.375 spring line with a 2:7 K:BB, after a 2024 .276/.370/.423 with 18 homers in the minors, earns him Atlanta’s catcher role while Murphy (rib) misses weeks. The 23-year-old steps up. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his bat for early value in the Braves’ 2025 lineup until Murphy returns, with a shot to stay if he impresses.
