About Michael Grove
# Michael Grove
Michael Grove is a right-handed pitcher who made his Major League Baseball debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021 after being selected by the team in the first round (19th overall) of the 2018 MLB Draft. Grove attended high school in Simi Valley, California, and went on to play college baseball at the University of Kansas, where he developed into one of the top pitching prospects in the country. His path to the majors involved time in the Dodgers' minor league system, where he refined his skills and worked to overcome various injuries that tested his durability and determination as a young prospect.
Grove is known for his impressive velocity and powerful fastball, which typically sits in the mid-to-upper 90s mph range, making him a formidable presence on the mound against opposing hitters. His pitching arsenal includes a slider and changeup that he uses to complement his dominant heater, giving him multiple weapons to strike out batters and limit offensive production. While Grove continues to work on consistency and command throughout his career, he has shown flashes of the dominant potential that made him an attractive prospect, and he remains a key part of the Dodgers' pitching plans as he develops into a reliable arm in their rotation.
