14th Round - Gerrion Grim - RF - Jefferson College

[Slade-OH]

Orioles buck the college pitcher trend and select a juco outfielder. I believe this is the same CC that Mark Buerhle went to.

He's listed at 6'1", 185 pounds and played one year at Missouri before transferring to Jefferson.

Last season for Waterloo, Grim appeared in 18 games on the mound, while totaling 43 at bats as a third baseman and outfielder. On the bump, the 6’1”, 200-pounder finished with a 2-1 record and a 3.79 ERA, striking out 36 batters in 40.1 innings of work. As a batter, Grim hit .209 with five RBI and an on-base percentage of 370.

“Gerrion was a guy that didn't have the chance to play school ball last spring and really took advantage of the opportunities that he had this past summer to get better,” said Bucks manager Travis Kiewiet. “Every time he took the mound he got better both mechanically and mentally. I'm excited to see what Gerrion brings this summer with a year of school ball under his belt.”

A native of O’Fallon, Missouri, Grim transferred to Jefferson CC from the University of Missouri this past fall. Grim redshirted with the Tigers in 2013.

Grim played baseball at Fort Zumwalt South High School where he finished his senior year with a 2.90 ERA and 94 strikeouts. That season at the plate, Grim hit .423 with four home runs and 33 RBI. In 2012, Grim was named the St. Charles Male Athlete of the Year and was a St. Charles Amateur Athletic Hall of Fame selection.
