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.
Collects 18th save
Baker earned the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox after tossing a perfect ninth inning.
Analysis
Baker was brought in to close things out for a second straight night, and he needed just 13 pitches (seven strikes) to do so Tuesday. He's converted seven straight save opportunities, and his 18 saves are tied with Mason Miller for second most in the majors behind Cade Smith (21). Given that he's come out of the bullpen in two consecutive games, it's unlikely that Baker will be deployed for Wednesday's series finale against Boston.

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.
