Grady Emerson SS, HS. DOB: 2/21/2008. B-L, T-R. 6' 2", 180 lbs.
Emerson is a HS SS with a sweet swing and tools to play shortstop at the MLB level. He has been on scouting radars since was 14 years old. He was on both 15U and 18 U Team USA twice. He bats from the left side with a wide stance and a quick swing that goes direct to the ball. He does a good job of keepin his elbows bent which helps him get around on inside stuff but he uses all fields with gap power. He still has a young looking body which should fill out and gain more power with maturity and showed present power in the HS HR Derby. He comps himself to Corey Seager SS. Committed to Texas but should challenge for the #1 overall pick in the draft.
In a pickup that went mostly unnoticed, the Giants signed 25-yo (2026 playing year), 6'5" free agent RHP Wilkin Ramos to a minor league contract November 19 with an invitation to Spring Training.
ReplyDeleteHe has had some AAA experience without great results.
Around the Foghorn reported this Friday.
Scouting report says mid-90's sinker with huge groundball rated. K/9 >9. Love the size.
DeleteMultiple sources state his weight @ 165 #.
DeleteAI: based on a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9, normal, or healthy, weight range for a 6'5" man is approximately 187 to 229 pounds (lbs).
I saw a photo. He weighs more than 165 lbs. Many of those listed weights for international prospects are holdovers from when they were signed as 16 year olds.
