Glenn Gray – Occidental University

Justin Roswell: Where Are They Now?

Glenn Gray (San Diego, CA) was recently named to the 2008 Second Team All-SCIAC for the Occidental University Tigers. Glenn finished the season for the Tigers with a .373 batting average, four homeruns, .449 on-base percentage, and 28 RBI’s.

For the second consecutive year Gray, a sophomore left fielder, earned this honor. During SCIAC play Gray batted .375 with 21 hits (fourth on the team) including a pair of triples and homeruns. Additionally, Gray drew a team high seven walks. He drove in 12 runs (fourth on the team) while scoring 13 runs (second on the team) as he finished SCIAC competition with 34 total bases. His .607 conference slugging percentage also led the Tigers as he accumulated a .438 on base percentage. Gray was responsible for 27 putouts with one assist and no errors in the outfield.

Four years ago was the first time that we had the privilege of watching Glenn Gray workout for our organization. In May of 2004, we held a National Tryout at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California. Players that day tried out for various Baseball Factory events. I was glancing through the scout cards while the players were stretching, and noticed a player who had written Scripps Ranch High School, which is my alma mater. It was Glenn Gray, an outfielder with above average speed, a good glove, and a smooth swing from the left side.

Our scouts that day enjoyed watching Gray perform and invited him to attend our Dodgertown World Series, which was being held at Dodgertown, Spring Training Home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gray happily accepted the opportunity and was looking forward to stepping on the same field as some of the Dodger greats, even though he was a San Diego Padre fan at heart.

At the Dodgertown World Series, Gray performed very well during the workouts and tournament play. Because of his outstanding performance, we invited Glenn to attend the 2005 and 2006 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All American Tournament (now the Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament) that was being held at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.

In addition to his participation at the Dodgertown World Series, Gray represented Baseball Factory at the Best of the West Hawaii Tournament, participated at the Mac Seibert Training Camp, and our Exclusive College Recruiting Program.

Gray will head up to the Northwest to play for the Moses Lake (WA) Pirates of the competitive West Coast Collegiate Baseball League (WCCBL).

Occidental finished the season with a 15-24 overall record and a 7-14 mark in SCIAC play.

We would also like to acknowledge several other players who have participated in Baseball Factory events.

Best of luck to those outstanding student-athletes as they continue their baseball careers at Oxy.
