Grand Junction Rockies pitcher Jon Gray tosses the ball around at Monday’s practice at Suplizio Field. The Colorado Rockies’ first-round draft pick joined the Major League Baseball organization’s Rookie level squad on Monday.
Long day for Gray
Rockies’ top pick makes his way to Grand Junction
Jon Gray got off the plane and headed for the ballpark.
A five-hour flight delay in Dallas didn’t allow the Colorado Rockies’ top draft pick to land in Grand Junction until late Monday afternoon. He got to Suplizio Field in time to meet his host family, change into his practice gear and join his new teammates on the field.
“Looonng day,” Gray said after practice. “I’ve been up since 5 (a.m.).”
The third overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft signed with the Rockies last week, only a couple of days after the Oklahoma Sooners were eliminated in the NCAA Super Regionals by LSU.
