2024 Fantasy Outlook
After getting traded from Atlanta to Boston this offseason for Chris Sale, Grissom should finally get to be an everyday second baseman in the big leagues. Grissom, 23, boasts a career .320/.407/.477 batting line in 1,474 minor-league plate appearances but was blocked at second base in Atlanta and not seen as a competent enough defensive shortstop to get regular work there. He is a career .287 hitter in the majors (.348 BABIP) and has five homers and five steals in 236 plate appearances. Grissom could push for a 15/15 season with excellent health, but the main selling point is the batting average floor - projection system Steamer has Grissom hitting .285 this year. He will be playing half his games in the second-best hitter's park, per Statcast's three-year rolling average. However, Fenway Park plays neutral for righty homers, as it's the second-best doubles park for righties due to the Green Monster. Grissom may lead off against lefties, but he could hit in the bottom third of the lineup against righties. Read Past Outlooks
Three-hit night in loss
Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.

How does Vaughn Grissom compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Grissom began the season with High-A Rome before being promoted to Double-A Mississippi. Atlanta summoned him in early August, and he filled in admirably, posting a .291/.353/.440 line in 156 plate appearances. However, a .163/.250/.163 stretch for two weeks in September cost Grissom his starting job for the last ten games and into the playoffs. Grissom's early success was driven by a high BABIP, so regression was expected. He fanned a little more in the bigs, but that's to be expected. Even though he was mostly a shortstop in the minors, Grissom played second with the Braves. With Ozzie Albies back in the fold after missing extended time due to injury in 2022, Grissom should get the first chance at stepping in as the everyday shortstop in place of Dansby Swanson, who signed with the Cubs over the winter. Grissom is looking at a long and productive career, but his plausible outcomes this season range from a full-time job to struggling in the spring and opening the season with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible trade candidate
Grissom is a potential trade chip this offseason, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although there's work still to be done on defense, Grissom's bat is ready for an extended chance at the major-league level. It's difficult to see an immediate path for him in Atlanta, though, with both of its middle-infield spots spoken for. Grissom is a possibility to be used in a super-utility role, but the team might decide he's best used as trade bait.
