On Monday, Grayson Grinsell became the latest Northern Nevada native selected in the MLB Draft when the Reno High School graduate was picked by the Detroit Tigers in the 6th round, pick 189 overall.
The left-handed pitcher just finished his junior season at Oregon, where he was named an All-American by three separate publications. Grinsell finished the 2025 season with a 9-3 record and 3.01 ERA while striking out 101 batters over 98.2 innings, allowing just a .205 batting average. In his first and only season in the Big Ten, Grinsell led the league in wins (seven), ERA (1.36), batting average against (.167) and WHIP (0.86) while ranking second in strikeouts (70).
