Baragar walked one batter in one inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar bounced back well after taking the loss in a sloppy outing during Friday's loss. The southpaw has been fairly reliable with a 0.71 ERA and six holds across 12.2 innings. He has just a 10:8 K:BB and a 1.42 WHIP, so he has enjoyed some good luck in his strong start to the season.

Baragar (2-1) was charged with the loss Friday against the Pirates after allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks in just two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar came in for the 11th inning trying to preserve a 2-1 lead but was unable to do so. He allowed a leadoff triple to Adam Frazier that evened the game up at 2-2 and the Pirates eventually walked it off on a sacrifice fly that brought Frazier home from third. The 27-year-old has been extremely solid so far aside from Friday's disappointing performance, as he owns a 0.77 ERA and also has five holds in 15 appearances.

Baragar pitched a scoreless inning and allowed one hit to earn a hold in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar hasn't pitched with dominance this season, but he's only allowed one unearned run in 10 innings. The 27-year-old southpaw has a 1.40 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 13 appearances. He's picked up four holds and two wins, so manager Gabe Kapler has shown some trust in Baragar in high-leverage situations.

Baragar pitched a perfect eighth inning with two strikeouts to earn a hold in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar was one of four relievers to contribute a perfect inning in the low-scoring game Sunday. The southpaw has yet to allow a run this season. He's given up two hits and two walks with four strikeouts across 3.1 innings and now has three holds in six outings. He's also posted a 2-0 record.

Baragar retired the only batter he faced to earn a hold in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar (2-0) allowed one walk and struck out one over one inning to earn the win Saturday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar pitched the sixth inning, and he was the first of four Giants relievers to keep a scoreless line. He became the pitcher of record when Brandon Crawford launched a go-ahead, three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth. Baragar has pitched 1.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts, two walks and one hit over three appearances this season. He's most likely to see his work come in the middle innings in 2021.

Baragar (1-0) allowed a hit in a third of an inning but picked up the win in Monday's 3-2 victory over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar replaced Matt Wisler with two outs and a man on in the sixth. He let up an infield single to Jake Cronenworth but got Ha-Seong Kim to pop out, ending the scoring threat. The Giants ended up scoring in the following inning, which allowed Baragar to pick up his first win of the young season.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Wednesday that Baragar will be stretched out this spring and have the opportunity to compete for a starting role, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnny Cueto and Kevin Gausman can be considered locks for rotation spots, while offseason pickups Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood and Aaron Sanchez also look to be in good position to win starting roles after all signed one-year contracts containing at least $3 million guaranteed. As a result, Baragar may be little more than an insurance option for the rotation, though he could change that narrative if he's able to build on his promising 2020 season with a strong spring. The 26-year-old had previously been a full-time starter while moving up through the Giants' farm system, but he made all but one of his 24 appearances as a rookie in relief. Even if he falls short in his bid for the rotation, Baragar will be in good shape to win an Opening Day bullpen role after he submitted a 4.03 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over his 22.1 innings last season.

Baragar will serve as the opener Wednesday against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar will make his first major-league start as the opener during Wednesday's contest. The southpaw hasn't lasted more than two innings in any of his 21 appearances this season as he carries a 4.58 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 19.2 innings across 21 appearances. The Giants haven't yet named who will serve as the primary pitcher, but Logan Webb is a strong candidate to do so.

Baragar (4-1) earned the win Saturday against the Diamondbacks after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and fanning one.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar has been one of the most trustworthy arms in the Giants bullpen and pushed his streak of scoreless appearances to eight, posting a 0.48 WHIP and 6.5 K/9 in that stretch. He owns a 5.51 ERA in 16 appearances out of the bullpen this season but is clearly trending in the right direction.
