"As part of their efforts to provide their upper levels of the minor leagues with more depth, the team has brought in righty Tyler Baum, a former touted arm in the Athletics' organization. As for some background on Baum, he was a 2nd-round pick by the then Oakland A's back in 2019 with the 66th pick out of the University of North Carolina."
"Now 27-years-old and turning 28 before the beginning of the 2026 season, Baum is now onto his second professional organization, and will be looking to improve his numbers at the highest level of the minors moving forward. Last season, he had a 10.97 ERA in 12 games for AAA Las Vegas, although the league they play in is notoriously known as hitter-friendly."
The Washington Nationals continue a roster and organizational reset under new front office leadership by adding pitching depth on a minor-league deal. The club signed right-hander Tyler Baum to bolster upper levels of the minor leagues and address farm-system needs. Baum was a 2019 second-round pick by the Oakland A's out of the University of North Carolina and is entering his second organization. He is 27 and will turn 28 before the 2026 season. Baum posted a 10.97 ERA in 12 games at AAA Las Vegas last season in a hitter-friendly league, and the front office hopes his pedigree could translate into future value.
