Known as a fastball/change-up pitcher, Grissom Jr led all Nats minor leaguers with 11 saves, while striking out batters at an impressive 8.49 K/9 clip. The biggest difference for Grissom from 2022 to 2023 was the increased velocity on his fastball which clocked out at 96 MPH this season, a full mile and a half faster than last season when he topped out at 94.5 MPH.With the increased velocity, Grissom has still maintained the sharp control he’s always possessed. In fact, he used it to help him induce weak plate contact by batters as he’s become more comfortable with attacking the strike zone when called out on of the bullpen.
is he rule 5 eligible this year?
His Dad was one of my first favorite players growing up. I grew up in Louisville, but the “Expos” were my first tee ball team, so I thought I should root for them. The early 90s teams with Grissom, Larry Walker, Delino Deshields, etc were fun.
