Baker’s first two calls were to his parents, who arrived in Washington from the West Coast early Sunday morning and arrived in time for the Nationals’ series finale against the Chicago Cubs.
Washington Nationals' Darren Baker fields a grounder during outfield practice after being called up from the minor leagues before a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs, Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, in Washington.
The 25-year-old, Washington’s 10th-round pick in 2021, hit .285 with 49 RBIs and 38 stolen bases at Rochester, could play some outfield in addition during his time in Washington. “That’s something he doesn’t even remember,” Dusty Baker said. “He’s reminded of it constantly, but he doesn’t remember. That’s quite a story. At the time, it seemed kind of funny or embarrassing or whatever, but in the full circle of life, maybe it was supposed to happen.”
