Fall Player Spotlights: Drew Grumbles


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

This Fall PBR Arkansas is highlighting a couple of the top uncommitted prospects from the 2023 class to a handful of talented 2025's.  Today we take a look at the talented right-hander Drew Grumbles from Episcopal Collegiate HS.  Grumbles jumped onto the scene this past winter at the Last Chance Preseason ID where the athletic 6-foot and 185-pound righty showed off his four pitch mix with a mid to upper 80's fastball and shaping two different breaking balls.  Grumbles has a very quick arm which projects for more velocity in the future and with his feel for shaping multiple pitches makes him a strong candidate to win innings at the next level.
