New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series Players Of The Week: May 1-7

The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series is proud to announce their inaugural “Players Of The Week” for the first week of May.

Grayson Rodriguez is sharing the first NB Baseball/Program15 Future Stars of the Week honors with Noah Naylor, and it’s the latest in a long line of accolades for Rodriguez, whose name has been skyrocketing up the 2018 MLB Draft rankings just months after appearing in Program 15’s inaugural International Week event last summer in Sugar Land, Texas.  The 6-foot-5, 240 pound Texas A&M commit is likely to be selected in the first round this year, but still took the time on Monday to discuss his experience with P15.

“The instructors that were there during International Week were great,” Rodriguez said.  “And then, just talking to all the different kinds of players that were there was good too, because there were players from all over that were there.  I had a good time talking to them and just kind of learning from them.  It was a good experience.”
