Clean sheets

3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 90.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 75.7 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~38), then tapers with age. At 23, Baas sits on 38.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Baas's projected Rating — 75.7 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.
