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.

Or DeSean Jackson.

Or Donovan McNabb.

Or… Barry Bonds???

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.
