As we gear up for Spring Training, the spotlight is on one of the Braves' most promising prospects, Drake Baldwin. With Sean Murphy firmly entrenched as the starting catcher until 2029, the question arises: what would it take for Baldwin to break camp with the big league team this year?
Imagine Baldwin tearing it up in Spring Training with a line like .450/.550/1.300. Is that even realistic? What specific adjustments do you think he needs to make to his game to dominate at the Major League level?
Moreover, with the Braves' depth at catcher, could Baldwin's path to the roster hinge on an injury to Murphy or even Marcell Ozuna? Or do you think the Braves might consider trading him if he shows he’s ready to start elsewhere?
Let’s not forget the broader implications here. If Baldwin does make the team, how does that affect the Braves' lineup and their chances for a deep playoff run?
I want to hear your thoughts! What are your bold predictions for Baldwin this Spring Training? Do you think he has what it takes to make the leap, or should he spend more time polishing his skills in Gwinnett? Let’s discuss!
