Scouting Report: Kohl Drake
Arizona Diamondbacks | SP
Overall
Summary
Drake Baldwin, Atlanta Braves catcher and reigning NL Rookie of the Year, was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 19, 2026, due to a strained right oblique muscle. Baldwin was having an excellent season through 48 games, hitting .303/.389/.543 with 13 home runs and a 160 wRC+ (8th among qualified hitters). He had appeared in every game for the Braves before the injury. The injury occurred during the series opener against Miami on Monday.
