Nationals’ minor league pitching coach Sam Narron part of rich family tradition...

WASHINGTON – The Narron family has been in North Carolina for generations and baseball has been a large part of their story.

“I was the eighth man (from the family) to play professionally and there has since been a ninth,” Sam Narron, 39, told Federal Baseball from Florida, where he is part of the Instructional League staff with the Nationals.

Narron pitched in high school in Goldsboro, North Carolina, played at East Carolina, and was drafted by the Texas Rangers in 2002 in the 15th round out of college.
