Looking to bolster their lineup for the stretch run, the Geneva Red Wings of the New York Collegiate Baseball League signed MLB draft pick, Grant Heyman.<\/p>\n
The Toronto Blue Jays chose Heyman out of high school in the 11th round with 355th overall pick of the 2012 draft.<\/p>\n
The Pittsford, New York resident opted to attend college in the fall. Heyman will play for the University of Miami Hurricanes of the Atlantic Coast Conference.<\/p>\n
A recent change in the NYCBL eligibility rules allows Heyman to play right away. Prior to last season only current NCAA student-athletes with one year of experience playing in college and at least one year of eligibility remaining could participate in the NYCBL and other NACSB-sanctioned<\/a> leagues.<\/p>\n Heyman has played seven games for the Red Wings. He hit his first career home run in the NYCBL on Friday July 6th, a 17-3 Geneva victory over Sherrill. Two days later, the 6-foot-4 Heyman connected on a pinch-hit single in Geneva’s loss to Adirondack. <\/a><\/p>\n
