Father and son: Karros makes Dad proud with strong showing
There are few things more synonymous with baseball than the relationships between fathers and sons. Heck, thatĄ¯s basically the entire plot of the famed baseball movie "Field of Dreams."
As Jared Karros took the mound for the Dodgers on Tuesday at Angel Stadium, his father Eric -- a former Dodger who spent 14 years in the Majors -- wasnĄ¯t just in attendance for the game. He was in the broadcast booth for the Dodgers flagship radio station.
With Eric looking on, Jared was beyond impressive in front of a crowd of 44,377 fans. The 23-year-old struck out four Angels batters in two innings of work. At the end of each scoreless inning, Eric looked on with pure, unadulterated joy as his son dominated on a MLB mound.
Karros -- a 16th-round pick by the Dodgers in the 2022 Draft -- had a 3.44 ERA in 83 2/3 innings combined between Single-A and High-A last season. If TuesdayĄ¯s performance was any indication, Karros could find his way to the Majors soon, much to his dadĄ¯s excitement.
