Grant Umberger
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Umberger’s path points to a back-end starter or swingman outcome rather than impact rotation upside. The 2025 season supports a legitimate starter foundation: he handled a meaningful workload, missed bats at a useful rate, and kept walks in a range that can survive in pro ball. The 2026 step back, especially the contact and home run damage, lowers the ceiling and suggests he will need either sharper command or a more separator second pitch to stick in a major league rotation. If the stuff rebounds, he can still carve out a fringe-rotation role; if not, the profile fits a depth lefty who shuttles between levels.
