Minooka vs. Naperville Central

By: Gavin Smith
Manager, Content & Operations/Area Scout

Grant Umbright, RHP, Naperville Central, 2026
John A. Logan JC commit. Stands in a 6-foot-3, 200-pound strong, athletic frame. Started as the designated hitter and batted third, finishing the day 3-for-3 with a triple, one run scored and a walk. His triple was a barrel to the left-center gap. Also worked 2.2 innings out of the 'pen in a must-win super-sectional with a trip to state on the line, allowing three hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out four. Clean mover on the mound with a quick arm. Fastball sat 89-92 mph, leaned heavily on a changeup at 75-77 mph with sink and swing-and-miss that kept hitters off-balance throughout. Mixed in a curveball at 74 mph with 11/5 shape.
