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.).
