## Resource

Chuck Garfien welcomes former major leaguer and current head coach for Fort Worth Christian Rusty Greer for an inside look at one of the most talked-about names heading into the 2026 MLB draft, Grady Emerson. Greer breaks down what separates Emerson from other top prospects, the big-league players he sees in his game, and why his makeup continues to stand out just as much as the tools that have him projected near the top of the draft. Greer shares stories from Emerson’s rise, including arranging a meeting with Bobby Witt Sr. and Bobby Witt Jr., navigating a season filled with scouts and expectations, and watching Emerson thrive under pressure while posting eye-popping numbers. Chuck also asks Greer about his playing days when he was a bonafide White Sox killer.
