In a 10-start audition, Groome posted a 3.16 ERA, allowed just four home runs in 51 1/3 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He topped 100 innings — 144 to be exact — in a season for the first time in his career despite his strikeout rate dipping from 12.4 per nine innings in 2021 to 8.8 last year.
