On the last day of the 2009–10 Bundesliga season, Baumann made his senior team debut in a 3–1 home victory over Borussia Dortmund.[3] He became the SC Freiburg first-choice goalkeeper from the 2010–11 season onwards, where he made 30 appearances in the Bundesliga.[citation needed] In June 2011, he extended his contract until 2015.[4] In the following two seasons, 2011–12 and 2012–13, Baumann made a total of 73 appearances for the Freiburg first-team, 67 of those in the league.
In the 2013–14 season he continued to be the mainstay of the Freiburg line-up, starting all of the club's first six Bundesliga fixtures, as well as starting Freiburg's opening UEFA Europa League and DFB-Pokal matches. In a match against Hamburg SV, Baumann made three terrible bloopers that led to a 3–0 loss to Hamburg SV.[5] Despite his terrible performance, he started the following game against Nürnberg and kept a clean sheet to help Freiburg achieve its first win of the 2013–14 season.[6] On 24 September 2013, Baumann signed a new contract at the club.[7]
TSG Hoffenheim
[edit]On 14 May 2014, Baumann joined TSG Hoffenheim on a four-year contract deal.[8] He became Hoffenheim's starting goalkeeper ever since, and team captain in 2022 following the retirement of Benjamin Hübner.[9] In the 2023–24 season, he achieved the most saves in Bundesliga in 157 occasions.[10]
International career
[edit]Baumann is yet to make his senior team debut for Germany, but has made at least one appearance for all of the nation's youth sides from Under-18 level to Under-21 level.[citation needed] He made his one and only Germany U-18 appearance in a 2–3 friendly defeat to the Republic of Ireland in the under-18 side.
All four of Baumann's Under-19 appearances came in friendlies, most notable was a 5–0 home win against the Estonia U-19 side.[citation needed] After then making two appearances for Germany's U-20 side against the Switzerland Under-20s and Italy Under-20s, he made the step up to Under-21 level.
For the 2010–11 season, Baumann made four Germany U-21 friendly appearances, conceding six goals during those matches.[citation needed] Since that season, he has made just five Under-21 appearances in three seasons.[citation needed]
Baumann was called up to the senior Germany squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Spain and Switzerland in September 2020.[11]
Baumann was named in Germany's squad for the UEFA Euro 2024.[12]
