Clean sheets

7.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 7.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Game time. Only 0.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

At 23, Baltacı sits on 9.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Baltacı's projected Rating — 39.9 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.
