Tanner Griffith is a leadoff spark plug with draft buzz
In the 2026 season, Tanner Griffith turned into Saint Mary’s table-setter, leading the WCC in on-base percentage (.477), walks (45), and stolen bases (18) while hitting .342 with 79 hits and 42 RBIs. He’s a left-handed hitter with speed, plate discipline, and the knack for grinding at-bats, which makes him more than just a box-score guy. Add in his All-WCC Second Team nod and 11th-round MLB draft selection by the Royals, and you’re looking at a high-energy outfielder who helps teams win with pressure, not flash.
