The Drake Baldwin Show: Braves’ Rookie Sensation Looks to Cap Dominant Series vs. Marlins

In a season that has been defined by disappointment and an unprecedented wave of injuries, the Atlanta Braves have found a massive reason for optimism, and his name is Drake Baldwin. The 24-year-old rookie catcher has been a one-man wrecking crew in this marathon five-game series, and he will look to put an exclamation point on his breakout performance on Sunday. The host Atlanta Braves will aim to take four of five games from the visiting Miami Marlins, a team that has seen its postseason hopes take a significant hit this weekend in Atlanta.

The Baldwin Breakout: A Glimpse of the Future

For the Braves, the final two months of this lost season are all about evaluation and finding the players who will be a part of their next championship core. In Drake Baldwin, they appear to have found a cornerstone. The rookie has been simply sensational in this series, collecting two home runs and driving in a remarkable 10 runs in the first four games. His performance has been so impressive that it has earned him a lofty comparison from his manager, Brian Snitker.

“He reminds me of (former Atlanta catcher) Brian McCann a lot,” Snitker said. “Mac came up and was above his years in age behind the plate and as an offensive player, and Drake is right there with him.” That is high praise in a city that reveres its catchers, and it is a testament to the immediate impact Baldwin has had. In a season where superstars like Ronald Acuna Jr. and Chris Sale have been lost to long-term injuries, the emergence of a potential franchise catcher has been a massive silver lining.

Miami’s Fading Hopes

While the Braves are celebrating their new star, the Marlins are trying to stop their season from slipping away. They have lost three of the first four games in this crucial series, a devastating blow that has knocked them back to three games under .500 and six games out of the final National League wild-card spot. With the season winding down, their margin for error has all but vanished. They will need a strong performance on Sunday to salvage a game and go into their next series with some semblance of positive momentum. Their offense, outside of the hot-hitting of second baseman Xavier Edwards, has been quiet in this series, and they will need to find a way to get to the Braves’ pitching.

A Duel of Rebounding Right-Handers

Sunday’s pitching matchup features two right-handers who are both looking to bounce back from rough outings. The Braves will send out journeyman lefty Joey Wentz (2-3, 5.34), who has provided valuable innings for their decimated rotation but is coming off his worst start as a Brave. “Joey did a lot better (than the numbers showed),” Snitker said in defense of his pitcher. “We missed some balls (in the field)… I thought he threw the ball really well again.”

The Marlins will counter with Cal Quantrill (4-9, 5.21). Quantrill had been on a fantastic run before he was shelled for seven runs by the Astros in his last start. “It wasn’t the same kind of rhythm, wasn’t in the same flow that he has been,” said Miami manager Clayton McCullough. “I expect Cal to wash this one away and come back ready for his next one.” The psychology of how a pitcher bounces back from a terrible start is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
