A recent standout at the Kansas Fall Kickoff, INF JJ Grove (Wichita Northwest, 2026) has jumped onto our radar this fall and was impressive once again in Sunday’s look. The athletic, 5-foot-11, 181-pound uncommitted junior swung a flat barrel that flashed gap to gap power throughout his round of BP with more to come. An above average defender on the infield, Grove flashed impressive range and clean, reliable actions at shortstop while firing a 80 mph bullet across the diamond to pair with a 6.93 60 time.
