Seems like this might be a guy we would want to sign kinda early?  lol

Will he become our top infield prospect?   I guess Mountcastle technically still counts as a fielder.

I don't think he can sign yet.

His team might be playing until June 27th.

Slow-motion of Cadyn Greiner's swing during batting practice at the College World Series: https://twitter.com/jjcoop36/status/1007634384260878338

I'm no expert, but I've seen some say his swing is garbage and I don't see that. I think this swing that is posted is a good foundation. He's not "pushing" and gets some use of the lower half. It's a little long in the back, but stays in the zone decently. I have noticed he does get fooled and off-balance in games, but this swing is a good place to start going forward.

 

Here is Nick Madrigal's (4th overall) in slow motion:  https://twitter.com/jjcoop36/status/1007710229310603265

He is much quicker to the zone and stays in longer, but clearly taught similar things.

The Beavers, ranked No. 2 nationally, struggled from the start Saturday at TD Ameritrade Park, as shortstop Cadyn Grenier, a 2018 first-round draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles, committed a fielding error on the first pitch of the game.

The curse of the Orioles has already affected our recent draft pick.  Quite arguably the best defensive SS in college baseball makes an error on the very first pitch of the College World Series...he'll fit right in...

Plus some outstanding plays at SS. With his team up 7-6 in the top of the ninth, runner on second with no outs, Grenier, lays down a perfect sac bunt to advance the runner to 3rd. (who later scored). Also, in the 8th, he singled and later scored on a double from 1st base to tie the game at 6. The kid is definitely a ball player. I just hope he hits enough to be an every day player.

Game tying RBI, keeps OSU alive.

Grenier is a BALLER. With his team down to their last strike, Grenier lines a single to left field to drive in the tying run in the top of the 9th against one of the best closers in college BB. Earlier in the game he also laid down a perfect safety squeeze with the bases loaded for a base hit and RBI. The kid can grind!!!!

If you think being an Orioles fan is a gut punch....try being an Orioles AND Razorbacks fan! I think I'm going to throw up.

I was in 7th grade at the time.

Everybody was talking about Oklahoma, and the possibility of them winning the national championship after they beat Arkansas in the Orange Bowl.

Roland Sales, a running back who was not even expected to play in the game, shredded the Sooners for 205 yards rushing en route to a 31-6 drubbing of Thomas Lott and company.

I was impressed I must say. That was the best bunt out of nowhere that I've seen in a while.  And the single? He slashed it.
