2026 — Freshman season
Griffey had a meaningful role offensively in his first collegiate season.
Batting
Berea's 2026 cumulative statistics show:
34 games
31 starts
95 at-bats
20 hits
11 runs
1 double
6 RBIs
.211 batting average
.221 slugging percentage
.292 on-base percentage
9 walks
1 hit by pitch
22 strikeouts
10 stolen bases in 11 attempts BBerea Athletics
The 10 stolen bases stand out. Berea's statistics list Landen as the team's second-highest stolen-base total, behind Giovanny Ortiz's 11. BBerea Athletics
He also had two 3-hit games, according to Berea's season statistics, and his longest hitting streak was six games. His longest streak of reaching base was seven games. BBerea Athletics
One particularly productive game came against Bluffton on March 28. Griffey started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a run, an RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Berea's 10-7 victory. BBerea Athletics
He also had a solid game against Manchester on May 2, going 1-for-4 while playing center/left field. BBerea Athletics
Pitching
Griffey also got limited opportunities on the mound.
Berea's 2026 statistics show:
3 appearances
0 starts
2.0 innings
0–0 record
58.50 ERA
7 hits allowed
13 runs
13 earned runs
9 walks
1 strikeout
1 home run allowed
.467 opponent batting average BBerea Athletics
His pitching role was therefore much smaller than his offensive/outfield role.
One rough outing came against Centre on March 14, when he entered in relief and recorded no outs. He allowed 1 hit, 5 runs, 4 walks and 1 hit batter. BBerea Athletics
Defense
In the field, Griffey had 65 total chances, recording:
59 putouts
3 assists
3 errors
.954 fielding percentage
That is a relatively strong fielding percentage considering his workload in the outfield.
