## Resource

Grady Emerson, the top-ranked Texas prospect and 2026 Gatorade Player of the Year, just got drafted second overall by the Tampa Bay Rays — a massive leap for the Fort Worth Christian shortstop who lit up his senior season with a .532 average, 1.013 slugging percentage, and 21 stolen bases. Coached by former MLB star Rusty Greer, Emerson joins a lineage of DFW talent, and the Rays are investing over $10.5M in him — part of their $19M bonus pool — betting big on his potential to hit 25 homers in the majors. Local hero, elite pedigree, and a pro career just beginning. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
