Grant Fink starred for
Buzz Verduzco's Griffons for two years. Grant's biggest impact was at the plate where he hit at a .355 clip through his career, ranking him tied for ninth all-time. His offensive contributions helped the Griffons to a 40-12 overall record and MIAA-best 28-5 in 2013, winning the conference for the first time in Verduzco's career. Fink and the Griffons made their way to the NCAA Central Regional for the second time in Verduzco's career.
Grant hit 22 home runs during his time as a Griffon, tying him for fourth on the all-time list. For nine years, Fink's season record 14 home runs in 2013 was the gold standard for Griffon hitters. Almost even more impressive, his .397 batting average and 51 RBI in 2013 are what likely cemented his Hall of Fame selection. Fink, playing third base for the Griffons, was named Second Team All-MIAA in 2012 and First Team All-MIAA in that memorable 2013 season. Fink went to get drafted in the 23rd round of the MLB Draft by Cleveland in the summer of 2013.
