Braves News: Ron Washington discusses Vaughn Grissom, Ronald Acuña Jr.’s bounce back, more

Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington is known as one of the best in the business. After becoming the club’s base coach in 2017, Washington has led many of the guys through intense fielding drills with just a couple of bags and a fungo bat. Recently, those drills have reached SS Vaughn Grissom.

“I’ve been working with Vaughn for the last three weeks, and mostly the thing that impressed me is the consistency of his application. The fact that I’ve been able to spend seven straight days with him makes a difference,” Washington said of the 22-year-old.
