Vaughn Grissom Enjoys Big Week In Minors
2 years agoAtlanta Braves infield prospect Vaughn Grissom has looked great since being drafted in the 11th round of the 2019 draft. Since then, he has moved his way into sixth on MLB Pipeline's ranking of Braves prospects. He is a well-balanced hitter at the plate, showing great patience, composure, and a knack for seeing the ball well. (His walk rate is consistently just a few ticks below his strikeout rate.) He also has good bat speed, and although he doesn't hit homers every day, he has enough power to slug an occasional dinger here and there. Grissom raked in the minors this past week, going 16-for-31 (.516) with two homers and seven RBI. He also drew three walks and two strikeouts while stealing three bases. He likely won't make his MLB debut until at least 2024, but when he does, he'll have significant fantasy appeal thanks to his ability to put the ball in play and use his speed to acquire extra bases.
