Marlins third-round pick Tristan Pompey predicted which team would draft him ... six years ago

Thousands of young baseball players dream of eventually making it to the big leagues. While Tristan Pompey was likely one of these young ballplayers too, an old tweet revealed that he really just wanted to make it to a big league ballpark one day -- and he had a very specific one in mind:

Fast forward six years, and we find Pompey as a junior outfielder at the University of Kentucky and one of the top prospects for the 2018 MLB Draft. Sure enough, Pompey was selected by the Marlins in the third round, making his six-year-old tweet look like some serious crystal-ball magic. Pompey was reminded of his old tweet and was amused:

Here are some other highlights from the world of baseball and social media from the last week:
Pompey wasn't the only one tweeting about the MLB Draft. Pirates pitcher Steven Brault was especially excited about some of the names Pittsburgh selected in the early rounds:

Travis Swaggerty
Gunnar Hoglund
Braxton Ashcraft

I’m sure these guys are great players and I can’t wait to meet them. But if you don’t think the @Pirates are currently compiling the greatest baseball names draft of all time, you’re crazy. #LetsGoBucs

Brewers outfielder Brett Phillips wanted to give the 2018 draftees some insight into what comes next:

Good luck to the kids entering the 2018 #MLBDraft tonight This is a live look of what your rookie ball season is going to look like... 105 degree weather, Back Fields, No Fans, and 100 in the ribs on a daily basis! But once you get passed this, your life will be great! #Blessings pic.twitter.com/9gw1brLQst

Rays pitcher Jacob Faria tried to imagine what the front offices were going through during the Draft:

Indians Minor League pitcher Kieran Lovegrove couldn't believe what his mother chose to prioritize in her tweet about his latest outing:

My avocado was perfectly ripe.?
The @Indians won & swept the Brewers. ??
My son @Lovegrove19 pitched another scoreless inning. ??
Now I need the @cavs to win tonight for it to be a GREAT day.

But seriously...look at that avo ? pic.twitter.com/gbwwxGOCSU

The infamous midges made a shocking return to Cleveland this week. The original victim of the midge crisis -- former big leaguer Joba Chamberlain -- offered his best advice for how to deal with the unusual pests:

Those damn midges come to haunt again. Make sure you have some vinegar!! @Rachel__Nichols @Cut4

Indians Minor League infielder Ernie Clement is not known for his power. He only hit four home runs in his three years at the University of Virginia, and entered Wednesday without a single professional dinger.
When he finally hit one in the fourth inning of the Lake County Captains' game against the Dayton Dragons, Clement didn't even want to take credit for it. It was all about the weather:

B4: GONE! @Ernieclem clubs his first career homer! The solo shot gives the Captains a 7-0 lead!

Attention residents of Ohio: Do NOT leave your homes. Hurricane winds blowing out to left field in lake county...BEWARE. ?? https://t.co/Ff4DTBhF2y
