Wylie Griggs
Relief Pitcher | Lethbridge Typhoon
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! If you're going in to face Griggs, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. Griggs seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Griggs is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Griggs has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook I can't say I know what The Lethbridge Typhoon were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. If Griggs doesn't perform, the Lethbridge Typhoon won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Lethbridge Typhoon are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
