“Obviously you’ve got bloodlines there,” former Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting and current West Coast Crosschecker Mark Baca told reporters after the Nationals drafted Darren Baker, son of former Washington manager Dusty Baker, for the second time (2017/2021).
“He’s a really good player. Intelligent. You watch him play on the field, so that’s a big trait, he’s got tools, he’s very versatile. He can play second, play center, he can run, so that was obviously — with his father Dusty — we really liked the player, everything about the way that his clock works, great instincts.
