Professional career

San Francisco Giants

After spending parts of four seasons in the minor leagues, in which he was 18–20 with a 3.82 ERA, and being named a 2019 Eastern League Mid-Season All-Star, Baragar was invited to spring training for the Giants in 2020. Baragar made the Giants 2020 Opening Day roster and his contract was selected to the 40-man roster.[2][3]

He made his MLB debut on July 25, 2020, earning the win after pitching two scoreless innings in relief against the Los Angeles Dodgers.[4]

In 2020 he was 5–1 with a 4.03 ERA, pitching 22.1 innings in 24 games (one start).[5] He was second in the NL in win–loss percentage (.833; behind Max Fried).[6]

In the 2021 regular season with the Giants, he was 2–1 with 2 saves and a 1.57 ERA. He pitched in 25 games, pitching 23 innings in relief. With AAA Sacramento, he was 3–3 with an 8.46 ERA, pitching 22.1 innings in 22 games (one start).[7] He was designated for assignment on March 14, 2022, to create room on the roster for free agent signing Carlos Rodon.

Arizona Diamondbacks
