Granden Goetzman's second season in pro baseball has started off well.
It's been a small sample size, but the Palmetto High grad has four hits in his first 10 at-bats with the Tampa Bay Rays' Rookie League affiliate in Princeton, W. Va., with six total bases and an RBI.
Goetzman has doubled twice for the Princeton Rays while drawing two walks, stealing a base and scoring three runs. Princeton is 3-0 and opens a three-game series tonight at home against the Pulaski Mariners.
Goetzman signed with the Rays last year after they took him during the second round of the first-year player draft.
