Atlanta Braves catching prospect Drake Baldwin had a strong day at the plate in the Spring Training matchup against the Miami Marlins.
He finished the day 3-for-4 with two RBIs, a walk and a run scored. Through five games, he is slashing .444/.583/.556 with an extra-base hit and the aforementioned couple of runs driven in.
Baldwin’s big day coincided with another slow day at the plate for veteran catcher Sean Murphy. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and struck out twice. Murphy’s job isn’t in danger but the top prospect’s performance at the plate is going to draw more attention to how well he performs during each game.
