On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 64th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 36 Báez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 43 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 9.8, Báez carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 87. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 36, Báez sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Báez's projected Rating — 9.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
