Tennessee’s Baseball Phenom Gears Up for Draft Day
Jared Grindlinger, recently committed to Tennessee, is in full draft mode as MLB teams circle. Excited by the addition of a new pitching coach, he’s keeping his eyes on regimented training rather than mock drafts. Fresh off a state championship, he credits that win for capping an unforgettable season. Now poised between a college career in the SEC or jumping straight into pro ball, he’s leaning on big-brother Trent’s advice: ignore the Twitter trolls, stay humble, and keep your head clear.
In a baseball world where every 18-year-old thinks they’re Sandy Koufax reincarnated, Jared’s down-to-earth mantra of “train, don’t tweet” is positively prehistoric. Who needs social media uproar when you can obsessively iron your cleats and chart your ERA by moon phase? If he bypasses college, he’ll enter a noble tradition of teenage millionaires skipping calculus for curveballs. Either way, at least one Grindlinger is guaranteed to learn the true meaning of “swing and a miss.”
