“Griffin O’Ferrall has the ability to control a baseball game like few others. He makes difficult plays seem easy and he puts immediate pressure on the defense when he’s on base. At the plate, he hits for average and power, to the point where most infielders take a step back when he’s in the box because the ball is coming at them hard every time.”
