He’s barely a high school graduate (and even less of an 18 year old) but Cornelius Randolph, the 10th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, did more than smash baseballs (he hit .526 with 7 home runs in 76 ABs in his senior year). The “best (high school) bat in the country” has a very active Twitter account! In just under 3 years on Twitter, @c_randolph has accumulated over 15,000 tweets (only 1,500 less than the lame official Twitter account of your Philadelphia Phillies). Needless to say, there’s a lot to learn about the Phillies ’18 left fielder (Well, if he signs. And doesn’t turn out to be Anthony Hewitt. Or Larry Greene. Or Zach Collier. And doesn’t actually play his drafted position of short stop. Or third base. Or first base. Or right field.).

He could be the next Ryan Howard.

Or Mike Vick.

Or Tiger Woods.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/602563793160278016

Or DeSean Jackson.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/603298945138348032

Or Donovan McNabb.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/593984693525041152

Or… Barry Bonds???

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/602962200110747649

Or even Bryce Harper… or is it Justin Bieber, Cornelius?

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/604795468741259265

He could be a Chip Kelly guy.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/381510585806237696

Really, he could!

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/508417385024327680

Seriously!

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/550828246019760129

He gets sore.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/458784776422719489

He likes to eat.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/454712236863684608

Eat and sleep.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/597855031493316608

Wait until he has a real Philly cheese steak.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/608379323976941568

He has good taste in music.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/592506087531646976

On second thought…

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/566356821838163969

Yeah… no.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/566362140316274689

He’s going to need help here.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/563845617554694146

He probably hasn’t seen “Talladega Nights”.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/583840088804687872

He’s curious.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/338820976487841793

And a deep thinker.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/518024963232919552

Real deep.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/538901441415774208

He’s got that “your” or “you’re” thing figured out.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/545732814155816963

He cares about his appearance.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/591997552079335424

He knows the kind of girl he wants.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/520047124676108288

But he has standards.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/606983120726986752

And he plans on treating them well.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/586008727867813888

But they’ll come to him… he won’t be on the hunt.

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/603400298502049792

But will he get paid by the Phillies?

https://twitter.com/c_randolph/status/544287529852481536

Philly has nothing to compete with this.
