Sam Grunberg is catching fire for Jacksonville after a huge ASUN Week
In the 2026 season, Jacksonville infielder Sam Grunberg has emerged as a steady middle-of-the-order bat, hitting .272 with 3 home runs, 19 RBI, and 23 runs scored, and he just earned ASUN Player of the Week after going 11-for-20 (.550) with 7 RBI and 8 runs in a 4-0 stretch. What makes him interesting beyond the box score is the combination of size, right-handed power, and proven production—he was a second-team All-OVC pick at Lindenwood in 2025 after hitting .288 and driving in 64 runs. He looks like a tough, physical, win-now infield fit.
