decorated Stanfield athletes ever.
Now Grogan adds another acco-
lade to his resume, as the East Or-
egonian/Hermiston Herald All-Area
Baseball Player of the Year for the
second straight time. After a daz-
zling 2016 season that saw Grogan
set several school records and earn
the honor as the state’s best, he fol-
lowed it up in 2017 with yet another
masterful performance.
As Stanfield’s No. 3 hitter in the

SPORTS
lineup, Grogan led the state semifi-
nalist Tigers with a .488 batting av-
erage, smacked 17 extra-base hits,
tallied 34 RBI and scored 52 runs.
He also drew 19 walks and struck
out just five times and put up a 1.295
On-base plus slugging percentage
(for reference, New York Yankees
slugger Aaron Judge leads Major
League Baseball with a 1.141 OPS).
He didn’t pitch as much as he
could due to some arm soreness
through the middle part of the sea-
son, but he still overpowered oppo-
nents in 29 1/3 innings and put up
a 0.95 ERA with 53 strikeouts and
combined with Klay Jenson to pitch
in two no-hitters.
His senior season didn’t end how
he had hoped, though, as Grogan
and the defending champion Tigers
were stunned at home by St. Mary’s
of Medford in the 3A semifinals.
“Of course it’s disappointing, but
if you look at the bigger picture and
what we’ve done just to get here, I
think we’ve earned a lot of respect
for this town,” he said.
Grogan will keep his focus on
the baseball diamond as he moves
away from Stanfield in the fall. He
will play baseball at Yakima Valley
Community College for one season
and then set his sights on playing at
the Division I level.
Grogan has dreams of playing
in the major leagues and hopes to
follow in the footsteps of his old-
er brother, Quinton, who went the
baseball route in college and was se-
lected in the 30th round of the 2016
MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins.
