Dayson Griffis brings two-way upside and raw arm strength to Georgia Southern
In the 2026 season, Dayson Griffis showed real two-way intrigue for Georgia Southern, making eight mound appearances and striking out nine in 8.1 innings while also arriving as a high-upside infielder/pitcher with premium arm strength and power potential[1][4]. The buzz on him is less about polished current results and more about projection: a 6-foot, 205-pound local standout who was the No. 1 overall third baseman in Georgia, reached 94 mph on the mound, and earned multiple region/player-of-the-year honors before signing[4][7]. He’s the kind of fit coaches take a swing on if they want athleticism, competitiveness, and a strong developmental ceiling[1][4].
