Druw Jones, Arizona Diamondbacks' No. 2 prospect and son of former Atlanta Braves star Druw Jones, is an American. However, his father is Curacaoan, a Lesser Antilles island country in the southern Caribbean Sea and the Dutch Caribbean region.
As per American laws, one can become a U.S. citizen through birth in the United States or through the naturalization process. Probably, the former is applicable to Druw Jones. When he was born on November 28, 2003, his father was playing with the Atlanta Braves (1996-2007).
