Trent Grisham

Trenton Marcus Grisham ( Clark; born November 1, 1996) is an American professional baseball center fielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Milwaukee Brewers, and San Diego Padres.

Grisham was born and raised in the Fort Worth, Texas area, where he attended Richland High School and emerged as a top MLB draft prospect. The Brewers selected Grisham in the first round of the 2015 MLB draft with the 15th pick. After spending all or parts of five seasons in the Brewers farm system, he made his MLB debut in 2019. Following the 2019 season, Grisham was sent to the Padres as part of a multi-player trade and became the team's primary center fielder. In 2020, he won the first Gold Glove Award of his career. In 2022, Grisham posted the lowest batting average in the league among qualified batters at .184 but won his second career Gold Glove. He was traded to the Yankees following the 2023 season.

Grisham attended Richland High School in North Richland Hills, Texas. He played baseball and was on the football team as a freshman. He batted .441 with ten home runs as a junior, and .552 with three home runs as a senior. Playing with the 18-under Team USA team during the summer after his junior year, Grisham hit .538 with a .923 slugging percentage, 24 runs batted in (RBIs), and ten stolen bases over 12 games. He committed to Texas Tech University to play college baseball.

Grisham was considered one of the top prospects for the 2015 Major League Baseball draft. The Milwaukee Brewers selected him in the first round, with the 15th overall pick, of the draft. He signed with them, was assigned to the Arizona League Brewers, and was later promoted to the Helena Brewers; in 55 total games between both teams, he posted a .309 batting average with two home runs, 21 RBIs and a .854 OPS. Grisham spent 2016 with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers where he batted .231 with two home runs and 24 RBIs in only 59 games due to hamstring injuries.

In 2017, Grisham played for the Carolina Mudcats, posting a .223 batting average with eight home runs, 45 RBIs and 37 stolen bases in 133 games. In 2018, he played with the Biloxi Shuckers, hitting .233 with seven home runs, 31 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases in 107 games. Grisham opened the 2019 season with the San Antonio Missions.

On August 1, 2019, the Brewers selected Grisham's contract and promoted him to the major leagues. He made his major league debut that day versus the Oakland Athletics.

On November 27, 2019, the Brewers traded Grisham, Zach Davies, and cash considerations or a player to be named later to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Luis Urías and Eric Lauer.

On August 22, 2020, Grisham had his first career multi-home run game, hitting homers in the first and second innings against Brandon Bielak of the Houston Astros. In the seventh inning, Grisham hit his third home run of the game against Joe Biagini, his first career three-homer game and first Padres three-homer game since Hunter Renfroe had done so on June 14, 2019.
