Clean sheets

4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.9, Baldwin carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
