Avantages

Baumann is a remarkably reliable goalkeeper, known for his exceptional reflexes and shot-stopping abilities. His quick reactions allow him to make impressive saves on close-range shots, making him an asset against teams with clinical finishers.

He excels in positioning and anticipation, often finding himself in the right spot to make difficult saves appear routine. This makes him dependable in one-on-one situations, where he has a high chance of denying attackers due to his strong positional play.

Baumann’s height and reach also give him an advantage in dealing with aerial balls and crosses, enhancing his command of the penalty area. He’s known for his consistent handling, rarely spilling shots.

Inconvénients

Baumann’s distribution skills are adequate but not outstanding. His long kicks may lack accuracy, which can hinder the team’s ability to build attacks from the back. This may be limiting for teams that emphasize quick transitions or passing from the goalkeeper.

He may struggle to sweep up behind the defense as effectively as more agile keepers, making him slightly vulnerable against teams that utilize through balls or rapid counter-attacks.

Alternatives

Verdict final

Baumann is a strong choice for players looking for a reliable shot-stopper with excellent positioning and handling abilities. His weaknesses in distribution and speed off the line may restrict him slightly in high-tempo or possession-based systems, but he’s a safe bet for teams prioritizing defensive solidity and organized play from the back. Ideal for a more traditional goalkeeping role, he’ll provide consistency and confidence between the posts. For those seeking a similar player with better distribution, other options may be more suitable.
