PHOENIX — If you ask Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb what he values most, the answer is simple: family. For the 26-year-old who is off to the best start of his career, family is often within arm’s reach.
Born and raised in Queen Anne Hill, a neighborhood of Seattle, Lamb grew up with three siblings.
“I’ve always been really close with my family,” Lamb said. “We spent a lot of time running around outdoors and playing sports. We’ve always been competitive.”
Older brother Dan was a two-sport athlete in high school. Younger brother Dylan will begin his college baseball career next season.
