The messages popped into my phone late at night — one after the other — a series of short videos and photographs of Riley Greene, an 18-year-old outfielder the Detroit Tigers could take with the No. 5 pick in the 2019 MLB draft Monday.
The first video clip showed a smooth, balanced, effortless left-handed swing, as Greene cranked a home run.
The second video showed another home run — “This one hit the top of the building in right,” Alan Greene, Riley’s father, wrote in a text.
