## Resource

Grady Emerson, the phenom shortstop from Fort Worth Christian, just shattered records by being drafted second overall by the Tampa Bay Rays — making him only the fourth DFW-area player to crack the top 10 in the MLB draft this century. Already a Gatorade National Player of the Year and state championship hero, his stats are jaw-dropping: over .500 batting average, tons of RBIs, just five strikeouts, and one fielding error all season. He even transferred schools to train under former Rangers star Rusty Greer. With gold medals, All-World honors, and USA national team experience under his belt, Emerson’s not just a prospect — he’s a future superstar. The Rays just got a monster steal.
