PBR Fall Showcase Player Spotlight: Grant Hussey
September 19, 2018
This fall, we will be taking a closer look at each member of the PBR Fall Showcase Team, known as the Appalachian Aces. Today we highlight 2021 1B Grant Hussey (Parkersburg South) who has committed to West Virginia.
Kuykendall on Hussey: "Grant is one of the best 15 year old players in the country. He is just starting to scratch the surface on his ability. He has an advanced left handed swing, and will only continue to get better. If he continues to work, he has the change to be really special."

Scouting Report
5/30/18
A definite bat to follow out of the state of West Virginia. Swings it from the left side, showing huge raw power for class in BP. What makes his power even more impressive is he does it with a lower effort swing. In game swings weren’t as aggressive but if he can translate what we saw in BP into game he is the type of left-handed power bat colleges love.

12/3/17 - A physical bat from the left side. Stood out for his ability to generate impressive pop with a lower effort, smooth swing. Movements are fluid during loading sequence, with lower half creating regular timing. Strength is obvious through the zone and his slight loft to his path allows him to lift the ball naturally. Ball jumps off his bat, especially to pull side. Tied for an event high, 87 mph exit velocity off the tee. In the infield he is a corner guy with above average range at both spots. Reacts well off the bat and has solid lateral mobility. Hands are soft and present glove skills are above average for class. Threw with 76 mph arm strength across the diamond.
