On Day 3 of the 2019 MLB Draft the Braves used their first pick of the day, the 11th round selection, on a talented infielder from Hagerty High School in Oviedo, Florida- an area around Orlando. That infielder’s name is Vaughn Grissom, a 6’3”, 180 pound high school shortstop.
Grissom is a guy who I knew going in to the interview was an interesting story. He was high school teammates with this year’s #5 overall pick, Riley Greene, as well as a player that has seen time at second base, third base, and pitching in addition to his time at shortstop.
