Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The son of future Hall of Fame manager Dusty Baker, Darren received his first cup of coffee in the major leagues in 2024 with the Nationals. Baker is a player with a very limited skill set. After hitting just one home run in four years in college, he has clubbed only six long balls across 346 minor-league games. The 26-year-old makes a lot of contact and has a career .286 average on the farm, however, and he stole 38 bases last season at Triple-A Rochester. Baker can handle second base as well as left and center field, but he might be stretched in the big leagues even as a reserve. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in March of 2025. Released by the Nationals in September of 2025.
Released by Nationals
The Nationals released Baker on Monday.
