Scouting Report
Grimm stands 6-foot-2, 175-pounds with great size behind the dish. He shows a strong glove and solid receiving and blocking ability behind the plate.  He needs some work on his transfer and release mechanics as he stands up a little tall on his release which causes him to lose some power.  He’s a strong kid though so with some added arm strength and work on his release could really see some improvements.  At the plate Grimm showed his strongest asset right now.  He’s a LHH with good pop in his bat.  He stays short to the inside of the ball and consistently barreled the ball up.  He’s got a slight uphill path to the ball.  A LHH backstop with power potential is always an added bonus at the next level.


Our Take

There's parts of Grimm's game we like a lot, starting with his size at 6-foot-2 with a highly projectable frame for his position. He hits from the left-side with a smooth, athletic stroke with signs of gap-to-gap power. Defensively there's some things to work on, possibly a next-level move to the corner are in his future but will all hinge on this spring campaign. Excited to was him play this spring in the greater Rochester area.
