Scout report
E. Báez is a 21-year-old full-back at Atlanta United FC, rated 48.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 21st of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 560th of 1770 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been an ever-present this season (94.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Báez.
Judged on this season alone, Báez graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 3.296 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 67 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, top 4% of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 21 Báez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Atlanta United FC finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points

Outlook
With a Rating of 48.5, Báez carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
