District 2 Player of the Year: SS/RHP Eric Grabowski



By Jacob Gill
Philadelphia Region Director of Scouting

GrabowskiPBR's District II Player of the Year is Lakeland's Eric Grabowski.  The shortstop's smooth stroke produced a .476 AVG with 30 R, 14 XBH, 19 RBI, a .535 OBP, .825 SLG and 19 SB.  He was held hitless in only one game this spring and scored at least one run in 17 of 19 contests, while leading the Chiefs to the class AA district title.

Despite those numbers, Grabowski's future might ultimately be on the mound.  He was a strong candidate for Pitcher of the Year as well, posting an 8-1 record, 0.49 ERA, 27 H, 13 BB and 78 K in 56.2 IP.  He throws from a low-3/4 slot with a loose arm action and a feel for two quality secondary pitches, and should garner significant interest after spending two years at Lackawanna College.
