Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this name, Charlie Condon, pop up everywhere lately, especially in the baseball world. I figured, “Why not dig into this myself?” So, I decided to start tracking this guy, from the beginning of his career to now.
First off, I tried to find out when he really started making waves. It looks like it was in his freshman year, in the fall, that he started turning heads. It says here, “Condon flourished in the fall of his freshman year”. I guess that’s where it all began. I wrote that down in my notebook and kept digging.
Then, I wanted to see what he did next. The next big thing I found was that he joined the Rockies, a big league team. The article I saw mentioned that “The Rockies went for proven collegiate power on Sunday by using the third overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft to select Georgia corner bat Charlie Condon.” That’s a big deal! Getting picked third overall in the draft. I highlighted that part in my notes because, wow, that’s a huge accomplishment. And he got a massive signing bonus, $9.25 million. That’s the kind of number that makes you sit up and take notice.
Now, it seems he’s been playing different positions. Another piece I stumbled upon said, “Now a 6-6, 216-pound sophomore who has played first base, third base and all three outfield spots for the Bulldogs.” So, he’s versatile, which is always a good thing in baseball. I made a note of all the positions he’s played, thinking about how that flexibility might help him in the long run.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. It sounds like he had some struggles when he first started playing in the minor leagues. I found this article that talked about his “early struggles against minor league pitching”. I started to track his stats from those games, looking for patterns or anything that stood out. It’s not surprising that a young player would have some ups and downs early on. It’s part of the process, I guess. I was marking down the numbers, trying to figure out what they meant.
Everyone seems to agree that he’s a top prospect. “Charlie Condon is easily the top prospect in this year’s draft class,” I read in another article. I jotted that down with a little star next to it. It’s one thing to be good, but to be considered the best, that’s something else.
So, I’ve got this notebook filled with dates, stats, and notes about Charlie Condon. It’s a pretty detailed timeline of his career so far, from college to the pros. I’ve been tracking his journey, seeing how he’s grown and what challenges he’s faced.
- Started shining in his freshman year.
- Drafted third overall by the Rockies.
- Got a $9.25 million signing bonus.
- Played first base, third base, and outfield.
- Faced some challenges in the minor leagues.
- Considered the top prospect in his draft class.
It’s kind of like watching someone’s story unfold. And I’m here for it, tracking it all step by step.
