A clear winner from this weekend, Grubich made a loud appearance in relief for GRB Rays Illinois 2023 on Saturday at our PBR at The Rock Fall Championships. A strong 6-foot, 182-pound that’s fresh off the football field, Grubich sat mostly at 85 mph with his fastball, reaching an 86 mph high. It’s a hard-running heater with natural arm-side run that barrels its way into the zone, making it hard to square up. Grubich also threw an upper-70s slider with intent and conviction that showed tight spin off plane. He’ll definitely be an arm to monitor into next year, especially with another full off-season under his belt.
