Grunkemeyer has continued to rise up the 2024 rankings during this season after multiple strong performances this summer, including a strong outing on the mound at TPG. A durable, 6-foot-2, 205 pounder - Grunkemeyer attacks hitters from a low 3/4 slot with a fastball at 86-89 mph with both ride & run. A strike-thrower, Grunkemeyer has an above-average changeup that plays well off the fastball at 77-79 mph to go along with developing feel for a 70-73 mph slider.
