Career

Baltes was born in Saarbrücken.

He began playing for KFC Uerdingen 05 in 2002, having switched from the youth team to the first team. Just after he achieved a Player of the Year award for Uerdingen, he found himself on the move, unhappy that he would be playing third division football. He decided to move to SC Freiburg, where he was contracted until 2008.

In August 2006 he switched to VfB Lübeck, where he played for eighteen months, before moving to Rot-Weiss Essen. He then joined Aue in 2008 and was released on 30 June 2009.

In the end of 2010, Baltes signed with the Eredivisie team SBV Excelsior and was given the 22 jersey.

In July 2011, he joined the German Regionalliga West side Wuppertaler SV with jersey number 3.

Baltes played for the German Under-20 national team.
