The Milwaukee Brewers are witnessing history repeat itself, and it’s not just on the field. Daz Cameron, son of former Brewers center fielder Mike Cameron, made his team debut this season, stepping in due to Garrett Mitchell’s oblique injury that’s sidelined him for at least a month. Daz, who got little playing time initially, notched his first hit as a Brewer on Sunday, relieving Sal Frelick who tweaked his knee. It was a moment that made Daz and Mike the third father-son duo to play for the Brewers, joining Tito and Terry Francona, and Davey and Derrick May. But down in the Arizona Complex League, another son of a Brewers legend is making waves. Jadyn Fielder, the 20-year-old son of Prince Fielder, homered in his first professional at-bat on Monday, echoing his dad’s power-hitting legacy. “In the ACL, Jadyn Fielder—son of Prince, grandson of Cecil—just homered in his first at-bat as a pro,” tweeted Josh Norris. Jadyn, a left-handed hitter like his father but playing second and third base instead of first, has a long road ahead, but that first swing was a reminder of the Fielder family’s impact on Milwaukee.
The Brewers are a team rich in history, and these moments are a nod to that legacy. Daz Cameron’s debut was a quiet one, but it’s part of a broader narrative of family ties in sports. Mike Cameron, who played for the Brewers from 2008-2009, was a fan favorite, and now Daz is carrying that torch. Meanwhile, Jadyn Fielder’s homer is a glimpse into the future, a potential heir to Prince’s throne. Prince, a six-time All-Star and the youngest player in NL history to hit 50 home runs in a season, left an indelible mark on Milwaukee, and Jadyn’s start suggests he might follow suit, albeit in a different position. The Arizona Complex League is a long way from Miller Park, but for Brewers fans, it’s a reminder that the family business is alive and well.
Stay tuned, because this story’s got legs. Daz Cameron’s journey with the Brewers is just beginning, and Jadyn Fielder’s first homer is a teaser of what could come. The Brewers are a team that thrives on tradition, and these father-son duos are a testament to that. For fans, it’s a blend of nostalgia and hope, a chance to see history unfold again. The 2025 season is young, but for the Fielder and Cameron families, it’s already memorable. The Brewers’ legacy is in good hands, and with players like Daz and Jadyn, the future looks bright.
