Mike Baumann Fantasy Stats

The New York Mets signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Mike Baumann to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. The assumption is that this is a non-roster deal with an invite to spring training. Baumann is back in the MLB after pitching in Japan last season. He posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 28/17 K/BB ratio across 27 appearances with the Yakult Swallows in 2025. His last time pitching in the big leagues, Baumann posted a 5.55 ERA across 57 games during the 2024 season with five different teams. The 30-year-old figures to serve as a depth option for the organization and will be off the fantasy baseball radar.

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Michael Baumann (arm) sustained a flexor strain in his pitching arm while working at the clubs alternate training site.

Entering camp as a 25-year-old, Baumann may get a crack at the Orioles starting rotation, having compiled a 2.82 ERA across three Minor League campaigns.

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Michael Baumann has been shut down with a flexor strain in his elbow, according to Dan Connolly of The Athletic. The team is not considering surgery at this time, as they do not believe the injury is a long-term concern. Baumann posted a 6-2 record at Double-A in 2019 to go along with a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 65/21 K/BB rate. He is not a must-own prospect in dynasty leagues, but he has legitimate potential as a mid-rotation arm.
