In the 11 games that the Indians have played so far he has had a total of 49 chances and he has accepted 48 of them, his one error being a wild throw. In 11 games he has had 89 assists, which shows the amount of ground he covered. Baldwin reached the highwater mark in assists when he turned in seven against Sacramento Sunday. “Baldy,” as he is known to his team mates, is picking up a bit in his hitting, too.
