Bat is angled back with slight bat waggle. Controlled setup. High leg kick while drawing hands back in load. Loads mostly in back leg creating great torque in hips before firing with hands. Whippy barrel that generates pull-side power.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 83.5 mph. 324' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-83 mph. High 3/4 release. Delivers one-hoppers to 3rd and home. Quick release. Displays consistent accuracy.

Arguably the top performer at the event, Grothues led the outfield group in velocity (83mph) with strong, accurate throws to all bags. He started his day with a 7.5 60-yard sprint showing athleticism. When it was time to hit, he showed what may be his carrying tool in the future. A switch hitter, Grothues pounded balls to the tune of 89.7 mph (RHH) while peppering the gaps with line drives with a max distance of 314 feet. When hitting from the left side it was more of the same as he showed some pull side pop in his second round from a simple, rhythmic stroke. Where he opened eyes was on the mound as the ambidextrous Grothues threw from both sides and was effective from both sides. He topped at 80 mph from the right side and 78 mph from the left.
