The Braves drafted Vaughn Grissom with their 11th round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft from a Florida high school. While he was a pretty solid prospect in his own right, he was overlooked by some due to being teammates with Tigers top prospect Riley Greene (a top five pick during Vaughn’s draft year).

What we saw in 2021
Grissom is a well rounded and versatile player who can play everywhere in the infield (time at second, third, and short this year), has a strong feel for hitting, and really has a deep understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses.
