CJ Griggs is becoming Hofstra’s clutch-contact catcher with a power bump
In the 2026 season, Hofstra catcher CJ Griggs has been one of the Pride’s most productive bats, hitting .301 with 11 doubles, 9 home runs, 40 RBIs, and a 1.034 OPS while appearing in 50 games and starting 49. He pairs steady offensive value with big-moment pop — including a walk-off two-run homer against Towson — and his 2025 season showed he can also hit for average (.309) and handle pressure. The only caution: he missed the final two weeks of 2025 with an injury, so durability is worth monitoring, but the bat plays.
