He also ranks second in home runs (45) and fourth in doubles (69) in the club’s annals.

An '05 graduate of Keystone College, Grimes amassed a .481 career batting average, including .573 and .506 in single seasons. Grimes attended high school locally at Kennett High School, where he excelled on the basketball court as well as the baseball diamond. He has recently spent his offseasons as an instructor at All Star Baseball Academy in Downingtown.
