Like father, like son.
Andruw Jones was a 10-time Gold Glove award winner for the Atlanta Braves. And his son, Druw, can go and get it in centerfield, too.
Druw plays for the High-A Hillsboro Hops, an affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
On Tuesday night, Druw went back on a flyball to dead center and leaped up to make an amazing catch.
The clips quickly circulated of how similar it was to a grab made once upon a time by a young Andruw.
Keeping up with the Joneses 🙌

Druw is a 21-year old who was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2022 MLB Draft.
The Diamondbacks have taken their time moving Druw up the ladder. He spent the entire 2024 season at Single-A Visalia, hitting .275 with 15 doubles, eight triples, six homers and 21 steals.
So far in 2025 a level up, Druw is batting .270 with three doubles, 12 RBI and seven steals. He has yet to leave the yard.
At this age, Andruw had already starred in a World Series, so Druw isn’t quite moving up as fast.
But he still has strong potential as MLB.com’s No. 7 prospect in the Arizona system, and the glove can certainly get the job done already.
