They led the NCAA in hits allowed per nine innings at 7.1, ranked fourth with seven shutouts and were ninth in WHIP at 1.25.

In two seasons under Hawksworth, Grinsell established himself as one of the top hurlers in program history; he tallied a 9-3 record, 3.01 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 2025 after posting a 7-2 record and 99 strikeouts as a sophomore.
