Scout report
Miguel Baeza is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Nacional, rated 47.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 232nd of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Baeza.
Judged on this season alone, Baeza graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.222 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 33rd of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 26 Baeza is in his prime years, and a market index of 18 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nacional finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.3, Baeza carries the 33rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 42 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
