Summary
Fort Worth’s Grady Emerson, a standout from Fort Worth Christian, was drafted second overall by the Tampa Bay Rays, joining a elite group of D-FW players picked in the top ten this century. He’s followed by Texas A&M’s Chris Hacopian, selected 11th by the Nationals for his elite hitting, and Texas Tech’s Logan Hughes, taken 17th by the Astros. With Emerson becoming the fourth top-ten pick from the region in the 21st century, it’s clear the Dallas-Fort Worth baseball pipeline is firing on all cylinders — and more local talent is set to hear their names called as the draft continues.
