By Dennis Healy
Massachusetts Scouting Director
Name: Ross Grasso
Position: C
Grade: 2016
Height/Weight:: 5-foot-11, 180 pounds
High School: Algonquin Regional
Ranking: 35th in 2016 class
Evaluation: Had a legit workout for us, both swinging the bat and throwing the ball. He had a pop time of 2.03, stayed back and worked through the ball. Throws were strong and accurate at 74. Receiving was fine and he needs to continue to work on handling high level pitches if he wants to progress back there. Not much of a runner but probably won't matter if his catching and bat continue to improve. Tee exit velocity of 89 with a bit of a long swing. The front foot needs to get down in time but the hand speed is very good. Very good showing.
