2018 1st round pick Supplemental (37) Cadyn Grenier - SS - Oregon State

[Chavez Ravine]

He had another grinder at bat in the first inning and came around to score, now a walk in the third so far.

The player to actually keep a close eye on is the Oregon St freshman catcher Adley Rutschman. He was named the College World Series MVP. He is a switch hitter being favorably compared to Buster Posey (no, not Matt Wieters). He is a stud athlete who also is the place kicker on the Oregon St football team. Many are projecting him to be a Top 5, if not the top overall pick in next year's draft.

Don't forget Freshman Pitcher Kevin Abels who the manager tried to pitch the arm off.

129 pitches in the last game, pitched an inning the day prior, pitched over 300 pitches in the last 10 days.

Stuff like this is what I was talking about earlier in the week.

That's who I was responding about in my initial post on Rutschman. I don't believe Abel will be eligible for the draft next year. Abel was drafted by the Padres in the 35th round of the 2017 draft. The Orioles will definitely have a Top 5 pick next year, if not the #1 overall pick and Rutschman will definitely be in the conversation for the Orioles pick next year.

Fun facts:

Grenier, a native of Henderson, Nev., graduated from the famed Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, the same alma mater of recent major leaguers Joey Rickard (Orioles) and Joey Gallo(Rangers), as well as nine-year major league veteran and 1995 American League Rookie of the Year Marty Cordova.

First two hits tonight!  Tripled off a reliever on second AB!
