Braves first base coach enjoys watching his son’s acting career take off

The Atlanta Braves have 15 coaches on their team, but only one of them has a son that’s chasing his dreams in Hollywood.

Sometimes during batting practice at Truist Park, you might see a young actor working out with the Braves.

“What I love about acting the ability to play different characters and portray different emotions on camera,” Dallas Young told Channel 2′s Alison Mastrangelo.

Young is a rising star who’s been in several well-known tv series like “Cousins for Life,” “The Fosters,” and “Cobra Kai.”

His dad is Eric Young Sr., a former professional baseball player who’s the Braves first base coach.
