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.
Locks down fourth save
Baker picked up the save Thursday against the White Sox, allowing no hits and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis
That's now four saves already for Baker on the young campaign, which is his career-high total. The 31-year-old right-hander is establishing a rather strong grip on Tampa Bay's closer role, posting a 3.68 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB over 7.1 innings while converting four of his five save opportunities. That said, Edwin Uceta (shoulder) might present some competition to Baker once he completes his rehab assignment.

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.
