M. Baker is a 23-year-old full-back at Newport County, rated 32.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 63rd of 478 in the League Two. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (80.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.61 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Baker.
Judged on this season alone, Baker graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 6 clean sheets and 2.607 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 17). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 11% of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 23 Baker is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.7, Baker carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two (top 11%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Newport County finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 23, Baker sits on 9.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Baker's projected Rating — 32.7 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.
