Drake Baldwin has made quite the splash by landing at No. 27 on Keith Law’s Top 100 Prospects List for 2025, marking him as the only Atlanta Braves representative on this prestigious ranking. With his impressive stats, including an average exit velocity of 92 mph and a potential for 20 home runs as a catcher, it’s clear that Baldwin is a player to watch. But this raises some intriguing questions for Braves fans and baseball enthusiasts alike.

Could Baldwin be the key to revitalizing the Braves' catching position, or is he more valuable as a trade asset? Given his defensive prowess and offensive potential, would the Braves be wise to hold onto him, or should they consider leveraging his value to address other needs on the roster?

Moreover, Baldwin’s rise from being unranked last year to a top prospect this year is a testament to his hard work and development. What does this say about the Braves' scouting and player development systems? Are they finally turning a corner in building a strong farm system, or is this just a one-off success story?

As we look ahead to the 2025 season, what are your bold predictions for Baldwin? Will he make an immediate impact in the majors, or will he need more time to adjust? And how do you see his presence affecting the current roster dynamics, especially with the potential for trades looming?
