TJ Grines is a leadoff-speed menace with All-Conference pop
In the 2026 season, TJ Grines turned UT Martin’s lineup into a track meet with a bat, leading all NCAA divisions with 66 stolen bases while starting every game in the leadoff spot and adding power, extra-base damage, and run production. He was also named 2025-26 OVC Male Athlete of the Year and a 17th-round MLB Draft pick by the Angels, which tells you the industry sees real impact here. The fit is obvious for teams that value instant pressure, relentless effort, and a table-setter who can change a game without needing a homer.
