Braves' Drake Baldwin: Nets invite to spring training
Atlanta has extended Baldwin an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.
Baldwin slashed .276/.370/.423 with 18 home runs between Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett in 2024 and is viewed by most as the club's top prospect. While Sean Murphy should have a clear placement at the top of the catcher depth chart in Atlanta heading into the 2025 season, the absence of Travis d'Arnaud gives Baldwin a clearer path to debut sooner rather than later.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: 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.

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.
