WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| The Pirates signed Grounds out of Australia in mid-2022. He was still finishing high school, so he didn’t pitch that year. He’s a converted catcher who’s already reaching the low-90s, and he has some projection. Grounds has a promising breaking ball and is starting to work on a change. |
