Congratulations to Greyson. Is he playing mostly outfied this summer? I posted previously that this coming season may be the last as Shockers for Jenista and Bohm. Thoses odds have probably excalated quite a bit based on the Summers they both have had in the Cape.
Summer Baseball Update #3
All the Shocks playing this summer seem to have played reasonably well to very well with the exception of Dayton Dugas.
I like the nickame Jacob Katzfey has picked up in the Florida League this summer. The Big Kat. Hopefully, he will stay healthy this next spring.
Edit: I think I answered by own question. In looking at the team stats for Jenista's teams he has 316 PO's in 40 games so he is definitely playing mostly 1B this summer.Last edited by 1972Shocker; August 2, 2017, 07:51 PM.Comment

I think he just assured himself a huge bump in the draft. The cape is top top top.
He picked the right time to "Go off" and plenty of scouts were there to see it.Comment

Statistically, at least offensively, Greyson's Shocker teammate, Alec Bohm, had a much better summer in the Cape so I am assuming Greyson has done something not reflected in the stats to set himself apart. Perhaps leadership, great defense and/or clutch hitting. Maybe the Cape actually picks the player who was the most valuable to his team and not just the league stats leader.Originally posted by lawmaker View Post
Current hitting stats:
Alec Bohm - .358 BA (2nd), 28 RBI (T-2nd), 5 HR (T-9th), .402 OPB + .523 SLP = .925 OPS (7th with > 100 AB's), 31.698 Runs Created (2nd)
G. Jenista - .317 BA (10th), 16 RBI (T-28th), 3 HR (T-23rd), .399 OPB + .410 SLP = .809 OPS (18th with > 100 AB's), 22.51 Runs Created (9th)
In any case, both of these guys should be heading into their junior seasons with a high level of confidence.Last edited by 1972Shocker; August 3, 2017, 01:03 PM.Comment

Sounds like Greyson's attitude and effort went a long way to earning him Cape Cod MVP. Nice to see those kind of things rewarded.

I believe that the summer season in the Cape is over for both Greyson Jenista and Alec Bohm as both of their teams went 0-2 in the best of 3 Division Semi-Finals.
However, it wasn't because the Shockers failed to perform.
Jenista's Cotuit Kettleers lost 3-6 and 2-4 games to the Bourne Braves. Greyson was 5 - 10 (0.500) with a home run and 2 RBI in those games.
Bohm's Falmouth Commodores lost 5-10 and 3-4 to the Wareham Gatemen. Alex was 4-7 (0.571) plus 3 walks in those 2 games.
Congrats to both Greyson and Alex for very strong showings this summer. Hopefully, that will carry over to next Spring.Comment

Katzfy also first in total bases and slugging %. Team MVP/ all league 1B as well.
Ritter selected to CCBL all league team as a DH/Utility. Hope to see better from both next springComment

One of the better summer for Shocker baseball. It looks like WSU should be stacked position player wise. Now lets hope Coach Steele worked some magic with the pitching staff.Comment

If you look at that list normally (Shockers or not), one would assume those guys are on Top 10 teams. And to have 2 of the Top 10, what would you assume then? Here's hoping....Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostComment
