Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Baumgartner began his youth career at the under‑17 level with the ZSC Lions before joining HC Davos' junior development program in 2014 at just 14 years old. He broke into the professional ranks in the 2018–19 season as an 18‑year‑old, appearing in 20 games for Davos and recording 1 goal and 4 points. On March 11, 2019, he secured his first full professional deal by signing a three‑year extension with HC Davos.[1] Having progressed through HC Davos system, Baumgartner held a Swiss-player license in the NL.

During the 2019–20 season, Baumgartner suited up for HC Davos, tallying 27 points over 37 regular‑season games.[2] He also missed several games while representing Austria's under‑20 national team at the 2020 World Junior Championships.

Baumgartner was selected 161st overall by the New Jersey Devils in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft,[3] marking an important milestone in his career after previously going undrafted in both the 2018 and 2019 drafts despite being eligible.[2]

International play

As the youngest member of Austria's national team, Baumgartner earned the opportunity to compete on hockey's biggest international stage when he represented his country at the 2019 IIHF World Championship.[4] Baumgartner appeared in four games during the tournament, but he ultimately concluded the championship without recording a goal or an assist.
