2026 Fantasy Outlook
Baker opened 2025 in a middle relief role for Baltimore, but the right-hander emerged as a dependable setup man as the season progressed. The 30-year-old tallied three wins, two saves and 11 holds while accumulating a 1.10 WHIP and 49:9 K:BB across 38.1 innings with the O's before he was traded to Tampa Bay, where he continued to serve in a setup role. Among pitchers who tossed a minimum of 300 changeups in 2025, Baker's produced a 41.8 K-percentage and held opposing hitters to a .128 batting average; both of which ranked third for that pitch type. The 6-foot-6 hurler leaned more heavily on his changeup with the Rays, ultimately doubling his usage of the pitch compared to past seasons. Baker should primarily serve in a setup role to open 2026, but there's a path to save chances if the Rays' current committee favorites don't pitch to expectations. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.28 million contract with the Rays in January of 2026.
Records one-out save Monday
Baker earned the save Monday against the Blue Jays, recording the final out of the ninth inning.
Analysis
Baker entered the ninth with two outs and runners on the corners and induced a flyout from Kazuma Okamoto to seal the win. The quick appearance secured his ninth save of the season, tying him for the American League lead, and he now has five saves in his last six appearances. Baker has been highly effective this season, posting a 2.63 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 13.2 innings. After a two-pitch workload, he should be fully available for Tampa Bay's next save scenario.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to make roster
According to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, Baker could have the upper hand to win a spot on the Orioles' Opening Day roster.
Analysis
The right-hander has a solid track record in the majors with a 3.76 ERA in 132 appearances, and he can't be sent to the minors without being exposed to waivers. Baker struggled to a 5.01 ERA across 23.1 big-league innings during the regular season last year, but a 3.77 FIP indicates he may have deserved better results.
