when 17 year old Ryan Brawn played baseball in high school, they called him a prodigy. When the East Coast vs. West Coast all-senior game was over, he was carried off of the field by his teammates. it wasn't long until the media found him. when questioned what it felt like to have batted 2-for-3 with a double, a walkoff homer, 2 rbi, a run, and a stolen base felt, he just smiled and replied "I fell as giddy as an eight-year-old boy on Christmas Morning". Little did the excellent hitter know that his performance was good enough to earn him a 5-star prospect rating. "In high school I would have gone crazy if someone told me i had a shot at going in the first round," Brawn said to the media. "I've always wished to see my name in the top categories with the greats of the game." Brawn is in the pool for the preseason draft on wednesday, in which the first pick has already been made.
"Now, what kind of contract do you intend on reeling in?" a reporter asked the young man. "Well, I definitely want a 3 year contract, but i'm not all that sure what's going to be the follow up," Brawn replied.
"What aspect would you like to improve?" another reporter asked.
"I would like to get stronger, but speed and fielding are my most important aspects that need improvement," Brawn answered.
"Last question, where do you see yourself in twenty years?" a third reporter questioned.
"On top of the career batting average leaderboard," Brawn said with a snicker. "I'm hoping to be in the top 10 in some part of the leaderboard, and I hope I can help a team, or some teams, win the championship."
