Grandyman
Known for his smooth and efficient swing, Granderson is a rather unsung hero at times in Diamond Dynasty. His ability to drive the ball against left-handed pitchers makes him a valuable asset, especially for players seeking to balance their lineup with left-handed power. Granderson has serious pop against LHP, though the paltry Contact and relatively pedestrian Clutch can mitigate that power a bit.
Don't Get Defensive
Defense plays a crucial role in MLB The Show 25, and Granderson's fielding attributes ensure he remains a dependable if unspectacular option in the outfield. While nowhere near the top of the defensive ratings board, Granderson does possess 75 Speed and will achieve 70+ Fielding and Reaction within the first two Parallel levels.
Closing Thoughts
Granderson offers a mostly balanced player who contributes offensively and isn't a complete liability in the field. His left-handed bat can hold its own against LHP and potentially balance your lineup.
Not only that, but with Headliner cards being relatively cheap to start the year, Granderson can be a useful addition to many teams - not just Yankees' theme teams.
