Chicago White Sox
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

March 31, 2025
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Baldwin had picked up starts in both of the White Sox's previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers, going 2-for-7 at the dish. Though he'll find himself out of the lineup in Monday's series opener versus Twins righty Chris Paddack, Baldwin's standing as a switch hitter who's capable of playing multiple spots in the infield and outfield should allow him to continue seeing at least semi-regular playing time.
