Baldwin has improved his pitch selection and contact rates this year and has excelled since his promotion, hitting .306/.419/.484 with more walks than strikeouts in 16 games.
Despite his good performance, Baldwin has actually underperformed according to his metrics, showcasing a .410 xwOBA and ranking 8th in Triple-A for average exit velocity and maintaining a high hard-hit rate.
Baldwin's hard work and improvement on defense make him a potential major league starter despite potential struggles against left-handed pitching, showing a significant ceiling for the Braves in the future.
The lack of representation in the Futures Game for the Braves in recent years reflects the system's weakness, with top prospects already in Atlanta or dealing with injuries, leaving Baldwin as their lone representative.
