When Dusty Baker heads to Los Angeles to manage the American League team in the All-Star Game, the weekend will be a family affair.
Baker’s son, Darren, was named to the Futures Game roster for the Nationals on Thursday. He’ll join former first-round pick Cade Cavalli as Washington’s two representatives.
The younger Baker, 23, was a 10th-round pick out of Cal in 2021. The second baseman currently plays for Washington’s High A team, where he’s batting .264/.328/.347 with one homer and 10 stolen bases in 55 games.
Baker had an accomplished college career, batting .303/.363/.339 with 58 stolen bases for his career.
