In India, cricket is the sport of choice. But North Americans of Indian descent are beginning to make their presence known in baseball. Canadian-born Farhan Zaidi led the San Francisco Giants to a 107-win season after helping the Dodgers win the pennant. Karan Patel is thought to be the first player of Indian descent to be drafted, when the White Sox took him in 2019. Kumar Rocker, the son of an Indian-American mother, was a first-round pick by both the Mets and Rangers. But the first big Indian-American baseball star could be a skinny kid from Florida named Arjun Nimmala.
