Trent Grisham, initially seen as a fourth outfielder for the Yankees, has emerged as a vital component of the team. After a challenging previous season with limited at-bats and performance struggles, Grisham's current season is marked by remarkable stats, including ten home runs in the first 31 games. His ability to deliver in high-pressure situations has impressed his teammates and coaches, leading to discussions about the missed opportunities of the past year. Manager Aaron Boone notes that Grisham needed more consistent playing time to find his rhythm, indicating a strong future ahead for the player.
Even in the Yankees' wildest dreams they might not have seen this version of Grisham coming, at least not to this extent.
Just coming up big spot after big spot, making big plays in the field, he's been playing incredible and a big reason why we've come off with the wins that we have.
So we'll see how this year plays out. The talent's all there, the on-base percentage, a little pop, the fact that he can play great defense.
Last month, Boone went as far as saying he did Grisham a 'disservice' by not getting him enough reps early last season to keep him in somewhat of a rhythm.
