Randal Grichuk celebrates important milestone on 33rd birthday

To commemorate his achievement, he received a bottle of Dom Perignon with a note that reads “Grich, 10 years in the big leagues. Congrats!” along with balloons.

Grichuk becomes the second Diamondback to reach the 10-year mark, as third baseman Eugenio Suárez reached that milestone earlier in the season. It’s a mark that is highly valued by the players as not only does it represent a long and successful career, but also allows players to receive the maximum pension.

Grichuk signed a one-year free agent deal with the Diamondbacks in February and has been a solid addition to the team. Playing a fourth outfielder and occasionally the DH, he’s been a solid weapon against left-handed pitchers. On the season, he’s batting .273 with four home runs in 207 plate appearances. Against lefties, he’s putting up a .294/.368/.412 slash line with a homer.
