View Draft Report
Griggs had a strong spring, going 6-2, 2.09 for Angelina (Texas) JC, though he did have one of his tougher outings on a day there was a large scouting contingent on hand. He has a nice pitcher's build and consistently works at 91-92 mph while touching as high as 95. His slider has been his go-to secondary pitch, his repertoire also featuring a workable changeup and a rudimentary curveball. It's a deep enough mix to give him a chance to stick as a starter in pro ball, though he may end up in middle relief. Command has been an issue at times but he made some positive strides this year. He's committed to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
