Chicago White Sox AAA
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
