In the era of diminishing congregations and dying denominations, I have the opportunity to pastor a church in a way that lives out Jesus’ teachings in the most authentic way imaginable. Thank you to @Sojourners for sharing the story of @LAFirstUMC.

2nd-rder Cooper Flemming signs w/@RaysBaseball for $2,297,500 (slot 53 value = $1,803,500). California prep SS, offers hitting ability & power potential, low-90s fastball on the mound. Vanderbilt recruit. @MLBDraft

53. Cooper Flemming, @RaysBaseball - A+ This was my favorite pick of the entire draft. I love Cooper Flemming. Planting my flag. Flemming has, IMO the best swing in the class, with a serial killer calm set up and, clean, controlled violence on the swing, shortening his long levers with an ideal bat path that creates easy backspin ability. Flemming pairs the swing with an easy plus eye for his age to create consistently ideal contact and limit swing and miss. Flemming has a 6'3 frame that's somehow rail thin at 190 pounds and projects to add 25+ pounds to his body, which should actually add both speed and power to his profile. Right now, Flemming projects as a plus hit, 45 raw power bat who's power plays up in game, but I think he could grow into above average power in the nearish future. Flemming has clean actions and what should be a plus arm, so he fits at 3B, but has an outside shot to stick at SS and could play 2B or corner OF. I think Flemming has a very high floor for a prep, but I find myself quite bullish on the upside as well. Really interested to see how he fits into the Rays system. I would not have hesitated to give this player $3M plus. Phenomenal pick.

I’m so proud of you, @CooperJF11! #RaysUp
