Cadyn Grenier had as long a college baseball season with national champion Oregon State as anyone who turned pro this summer, and that was just the beginning of the challenge for the Orioles’ second overall draft pick.
Grenier skipped rookie ball entirely and was sent to Low-A Delmarva, where the Orioles set about showing one of their prized new assets what would be required for him to develop as quickly as hoped.
“He’s kind of having to raise his game right out of the chute, and now it’s something where he can get an idea of what to expect going into the offseason to prepare for what’s ahead of him, as opposed to going somewhere and maybe dominating right away,” Delmarva manager Buck Britton said late last month.
