Grillo is on the older end for the 2023 class after starting his college career at Spokane (Wash.) Falls JC back in 2019, though he has a surprisingly limited amount of innings under his belt thanks to a Covid-canceled season and a redshirt year with Washington State in 2021. Grillo was off to an electric start as a back-end closer for Washington State early in 2023, with a 2.79 ERA over 9.2 innings with a 14-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio, but he got hit around significantly more in conference play. He finished with a 9.16 ERA in just 18.2 total innings, with a 33.7% strikeout rate and 12% walk rate. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound righthander pitches off a 93 mph fastball that touches 96, and actually uses a low-80s slider more than half the time. Given its 60% whiff rate that’s perhaps not a huge surprise.
