Freshman lefty Paul Grossman brings USC a polished, high-upside arm
Grossman entered USC as a highly regarded freshman left-hander, ranked the No. 4 LHP in California and No. 29 nationally by Perfect Game, with a reputation for poise, strike-throwing, and a competitive edge that shows up in relief work.[1] In USC’s 2026 season, he already delivered a clean 0.2-inning outing in a win over LMU, which fits the profile of a trusted young arm who can cool down traffic and handle pressure.[4][15] If you want a lefty with regional pedigree, present-day composure, and upside rather than a finished product, he’s absolutely worth your attention.[1][3]
