Career

On November 25, 2013, Baldwin signed with the Boston Red Sox organization as an international free agent.[2] He made his professional debut with the Dominican Summer League Red Sox in 2014, hitting .269 in 65 games.

In 2015, Baldwin split the season between the rookie-level GCL Red Sox and the Low-A Lowell Spinners, slashing .288/.359/.399 in 50 games between the two teams. The following season, Baldwin split the year between the Single-A Greenville Drive and Lowell, accumulating a .266/.305/.372 batting line with 4 home runs and 37 RBI. In 2017, Baldwin returned to Greenville, logging a .274/.310/.489 slash with career-highs in home runs (14) and RBI (66). For the 2018 season, Baldwin played for the High-A Salem Red Sox, slashing .233/.282/.371 with 7 home runs and 27 RBI.[3] Baldwin only appeared in 8 games between Lowell and the GCL Red Sox in 2019, missing much of the year with a broken ankle.[4]

Baldwin did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He was assigned to the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs to begin the 2021 season. Baldwin elected free agency following the season, but later re-signed with the Red Sox on a minor league deal on February 1, 2022.[6]

Baldwin was named to the Dominican Republic national baseball team for Baseball at the 2020 Summer Olympics, contested in Tokyo in 2021.[7][8]
