PHOENIX (AP) — Colorado Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros is off to a good start in the National League — just like his dad.

The 23-year-old Karros — the son of 1992 National League Rookie of the Year Eric Karros — hit an RBI single in his first big-league plate appearance Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The younger Karros has been a fast mover through the Rockies’ minor-league system after being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 draft out of UCLA. He was batting .301 with six homers this season in the minors.

The elder Karros hit 284 homers over a 14-year career, mostly with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 57-year-old also played in college at UCLA, where he was teammates with current Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo.
