Grizz draft history not stellar

My attitude towards this draft is similar to yours — I don’t know whom I want them to take. As far as I can tell there are six or seven players with real upside but all of whom have real red flags. Whole thing is a crapshoot for everybody at the top, probably even more so than normal. Four of the guys will probably be really good and two or three of them will bomb.
 
What does Austin Riley look like as far as potential upside?

Lot of power, solid defender, a lot of K’s. Has legit power and can draw a walk. Biggest issue before this year was bat speed but apparently changed his approach to help combat that last year. Ceiling is Troy Glaus. Probably can except Todd Frazier production for him as a player.

Excellent, thanks.
 
My son is grabbing everything with his left hand.
🚨he threw his rattle with his left hand 🚨

Keep your fingers crossed gents

Our 4 year old is in his first year of tee ball and bats left and throws comfortably right handed. Only kid that can hit a pitch consistently without having to use the tee.

That’s interesting, sounds like he is cross dominant. I am cross dominant but can’t throw with my left smh. I write and eat and most other things with my left hand.

His dad is, so it makes sense. Have worked with him to see what he is most comfortable with as far as throwing, but at that age it's really hard to tell because they all throw pretty poorly lol.
 
Making my first trip to Suntrust June 2 against the Nationals. Can't wait. Hopefully it doesn't rain...
