Congrats to him.
Hope he has a great career.

Is this the first major league player from GP?

I’m not up on past GP baseball players but in the past I”ve heard a few GP players make it to the big leagues.

Walker Janaksigned his rookie contract yesterday with the Astros and hopefully soon we will see him in Hooks blue.
His bank acct just got a bit bigger with his signing bonus north of $3 million. Congrat to a great young man on his success chasing his dreams.
