Darren Baker to Debut with Nationals Sunday

Darren Baker, son of former MLB player and manager Dusty Baker, will be called up by the Washington Nationals when rosters expand on Sunday. Darren, who first gained fame as a bat boy rescued by J.T. Snow during the 2002 World Series, has been performing well with Triple-A Rochester, hitting .285 this season. Drafted in the 10th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, he has shown versatility, playing both second base and outfield. This call-up marks a significant moment for the Baker family, continuing their legacy in Major League Baseball. The Nationals are using the September roster expansion to evaluate young talent, including Baker, as they are out of playoff contention.
