26-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Washington Nationals AAA
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 September of 2024.
Opening season in minors
2BWashington Nationals  AAA
March 17, 2025
The Nationals optioned Baker to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Baker received his first taste of the big leagues as a September call-up in 2024, seeing action with Washington in nine games while going 7-for-14 with two doubles and one run. The 26-year-old likely projects as a utility player at the big-league level, but he'll be given the chance to play on an everyday basis in Rochester to begin the upcoming season.
