He led the KR tigers to the Elite 8 two of the last three seasons and was selected to the All-Region team after his junior year. He has had tremendous success on his Roadrunner travel team and has been selected to several Perfect Game all-tournament teams. This past summer, Grayson was invited to play in two elite National Invitational tournaments that were put on by Perfect Game, one at the Minneapolis Metro-dome (home of the Minnesota Twins) and one at Citi Field (home of the Mets) in New York City. Grayson was also selected to compete on the Team USA 17-U National Development Team earlier this fall. He was one of 40 student-athletes selected from around the country and he will now be eligible for future Team USA experience.”
