2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brooks was here until he wasn't. Baldwin did hit 15 homers with 22 steals over two levels of A ball in 2023, but struggled to hit for average in Kannapolis before finding something in Winston-Salem. That success carried over into 2024 when he hit .330 between Double-A and Triple-A with eight homers and 17 steals in 82 games before he was promoted to a season-long open tryout in Chicago. The success did not follow him north, as he was rather overmatched at the plate and also struggled with a wrist injury. Baldwin is projected to be the starting shortstop for the White Sox as things stand now, which means he should have the opportunity to show he can rake again until the club promotes Colson Montgomery to shortstop and pushes Baldwin to another spot. There are not a lot of players with upside on the Chicago roster, but Baldwin is one of those players for which a very late dart throw in AL-only leagues could work out well. Read Past Outlooks
Chance to begin season at SS
Baldwin could begin the 2025 season as the White Sox starting shortstop, Chris Getz of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The White Sox have a particularly uncertain outlook at shortstop, with Baldwin, Colson Montgomery and Chase Meidroth all potential candidates. Baldwin has the advantage of big-league experience as well as defensive versatility. His big-league debut didn't go well in 2024 -- he maintained a .249 wOBA and 58 wRC+ in 121 plate appearances -- but his ability to play second base and shortstop as well as some outfield should keep him in consideration for a significant role to begin the 2025 campaign.
