With the exception of that one game against the Twins in May and the season’s last five games, Grissom’s 2024 calendar year was a complete bust. Less than a month after recovering from his groin injury, he strained his hamstring, the first of two persistent problems he has had. He struggled mightily to establish a rhythm at the plate in between the injuries, ending the season with a slash line of.191/.246/.219 and zero home runs in 105 at-bats, good for a bWAR of -0.2 and an OPS+ of 31. I double-checked, and none of those numbers are typos. Uncomfortably, Grissom didn’t perform much better in AAA either. During the 2023 season, he only struck out 66 times in 102 AAA games.
