Grady Emerson selected No. 2 overall by the Tampa Bay Rays.
“We are adding a player with a premium hit tool and an excellent amateur pedigree. Grady’s work ethic and makeup are a perfect fit with our already strong culture,” amateur scouting director Chuck Ricci said in a statement following the Fort Worth Christian School shortstop’s selection on Saturday. “Getting to know his family only solidified that he is our guy. I can’t thank area scout Chris Hom enough for his excellent work with Grady over the last 12 months. We are looking forward to seeing Grady in a Rays uniform.”
