Parker
Granse

Granse, a wiry-athletic, long-limbed, 6-foot-4, 165-pound southpaw got the start for Aces National against a South Charlotte Panthers squad that featured one of the most imposing lineups at the event, and is likely filled with a plethora of future power commitments. In that outing, he looked the part of a future starter, disrupting timing while pounding the zone in a complete game, walk-off victory that saw him strikeout six allowing just three hits and one run with a pair of walks. Featuring loose sling to the arm stroke with quickness out front from a lower ¾ slot, Granse’s fastball featured some arm side life as he worked 82-85+ with upwards of 2298 rpm. Routinely pulling the string on an advanced changeup (mid 70s, 1700s), he nibbled on the corner successfully as the pitch profiled well off of the fastball. Only adding to his upside, he also showed some feel for a 66-67 breaking ball. Beyond the pure stuff and premium upside that his frame and athleticism displayed, the mound presence stood out as elite, and he walked around with moxie that should only help push his future advancements.
