  Some pitchers seem to have an innate ability to attack batters, command the zone and make the most of their arm talent. Grim is one of those pitchers. He’s a 6-foot-1, 190-pound righthander who doesn’t offer an imposing look on the mound and sits in the low 90s, but he has consistently carved through lineups of some of the best hitters in the class. Between the East Coast Pro and Area Code Games in 2024, Grim faced 19 batters, struck out 11 and walked none while giving up just one hit. Grim has a bit of effort in his delivery, but this spring he managed to soften what was a previously aggressive stabbing action in the back of his arm stroke. He throws from a three-quarters slot and has great feel for a complete four-pitch mix. Grim will pitch in the 89-93 mph range, but his fastball is a hoppy pitch that sneaks over barrels consistently. After topping at 94 mph in 2024 it has been up to 96 this spring. He knows how to land and manipulate a 78-82 mph slider and a curveball a few ticks lighter and also has advanced feel for a low-80s changeup. Grim could develop plus control and has a no-doubt starter profile. He’s committed to Virginia Tech where he should become an immediate contributor if he doesn’t get drafted in the 3-6 round range.
