Born in La Teste-de-Buch in Gironde, Serin began his career with nearby club Bordeaux Bègles in the Top 14.[ citation needed ]
He made his international debut during France's 2016 tour of Argentina. He started the first match at scrum-half, paired with Jules Plisson at fly-half, and received praise from coaches, players, and the press despite being in the losing side (30-19). He started the second match as well, this time associated with François Trinh-Duc, and this time took on the kicking duties too. They won that game 0-27 in what was Guy Novès's first away win as France manager, with Serin shining again. He was then included in the 2016/17 30-man "elite" list, made of players selected by the French national team to be protected and not allowed to play more than 30 games that year. [2] He was then selected to play in the Autumn Internationals but started all three games on the bench, behind Maxime Machenaud. France ended the series with a 19–24 loss to world champions New Zealand, in which Serin came onto the pitch during the second half and gave a remarkable out-the-back pass for Louis Picamoles to score the only French try of the game. [3] Baptiste made his 6 Nations debut against England on 4 February 2017.
