The Chicago Cubs‘ Trent Giambrone was selected in the 25th round for a $1,000 out of Delta State in 2016. He was the NCAA defensive player of the year that senior year. $1,000 for a D.P.Y.? Sweet goodness. That’s impressive. He was recently sent down to minor-league camp, whether it’s Double-A or Triple-A he goes to–but it’s likely to be Triple-A.
And ‘smashing the leather’ off it was an understatement. He had a slash line of .458/.500/.625 with an OPS of1.125. He also had a home run, a double and 12 RBI.
