Marquis Grissom Jr. Notches Fifth Save At Double-A
Marquis Grissom Jr. picked up his fifth save of the season for Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday despite allowing a run on one hit and a walk. The righty struck out two batters in the appearance as well. The five saves are the second-most in all the minor leagues, and the 6-foot-2 hurler owns a 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and a 3:8 BB:K in eight-and-two-thirds innings pitched. A strong showing between High-A and Double-A last season catapulted him into the Nationals' top 30 prospects to No. 23, and continued success should push him up to Triple-A before long. MLB.com's Top Prospects list has an ETA of 2025 for Grissom, and with Washington's bullpen producing the worst ERA and WHIP in all of baseball, it's not a stretch to think he could be an asset in the majors this season. His fantasy relevance is likely limited to leagues that reward holds, though, unless Kyle Finnegan were to falter.
