MLB.com money quote: "Though Magnolia (Texas) High has sent more than two dozen players to college programs, it never has had a player drafted before the 20th round. That should change in 2018, as the Bulldogs have a pair of potential first-rounders in Groshans and right-hander Adam Kloffenstein. Groshans is one of the better all-around hitters in the prep class and doesn't have a glaring weakness."
