The top true two-way in the '26 class - Grant showed well on both sides of the ball during the Bulls workout and has trended in an upward fashion during 2024. Coming off a big season for Center Grove, I was most impressed with Gannon on the mound in this look. The 6-foot-2, 185 pounder has matured into more physical strength this season - allowing the stuff to tick up & also more strength at the dish. Grant attacks from a heigher release point (6'5" avg release height) with a fastball that flashes arm-side run at times, sitting 87-89, and touching 90 mph. The slider is his best pitch - a tightly-spun (2721 avg spin), slurvey shaped breaking ball that is a swing-and-miss offering, playing in the mid-70s. He can go to the arm-side of the plate with a mid-70s changeup that averaged 19.1" of horizontal break, another swing-and-miss pitch. Two advanced offspeed pitches, plus a firm fastball, paired with the athleticsm that comes with being a high-level, two-way P/SS, makes his future development on the mound a sure bet. However, Grant's improvements in strength have added more impact to the bat, now holding at least gap power, and the obvious arm talent allows two-way possibilities to remain open, as does a 6.93 60.
