Trent Grisham has hit the ball laborious and never usually been rewarded — maybe as a result of too many batted balls have touched the dust moderately than sailed over it — whereas drawing loads of walks in what has been an general unremarkable starting to his season.
More exceptional, although, is how Grisham has been conducting his at-bats: He has barely swung.
With all of the early season and it’s-only-mid-April caveats, the Yankees middle fielder entered play Monday having seen 242 pitches and having supplied at 81. Among 179 certified main leaguers, Grisham’s 33.5 % swing charge ranked 178th, with solely Baltimore’s Taylor Ward extra selective.
As a Yankee, Grisham has at all times been affected person and took a lower on the fifth-lowest share of pitches final season, however his 2025 charge of 38.5 % almost paints the image of a free swinger in contrast together with his first 15 video games this season.
