Darren Baker, the former batboy, is making his big league debut with the Washington Nationals after a solid minor league season, showcasing his speed and versatility.
Rochester manager Matthew LeCroy praised Baker's ability to take advantage of opportunities, underscoring the unexpected nature of his call-up during roster expansion.
Baker gained national attention in the 2002 World Series incident, leading to a rule change for bat boys, highlighting the blend of nostalgia and new potential in his story.
With a strong season batting .288 and stealing 38 bases, Baker's left-handed, multi-position play offers the Nationals depth as they head into the final month of the season.
