PROSPECT: Grant Gambrell, SP, Boston Red Sox
ANALYSIS: After an up-and-down career for Oregon State, 6'4" righty Grant Gambrell was selected by the Royals in the third round in 2019. He wasn't able to debut in 2020, and after just a handful of starts in 2021, he was traded to Boston as part of the Andrew Benintendi trade.
He was hurt last season, which was an issue that dates back to his college days due to the style of his delivery. He returned to full strength this season and has made 19 starts, tossing 104 2/3 innings with a 3.87 ERA, and striking out 111. Though his first start in August was rough, he had a dominant July, tossing 27 innings with a 1.67 ERA and 31 strikeouts.
Gambrell works with a mid-90s heavy fastball and pairs it with a downer curve and a change. He needs to be able to repeat his delivery and calm it down to have success moving forward.
VERDICT: Gambrell is 25 at Double-A, but when the delivery is synced up, he can be an inning-eater backend starter. No need to roster him now, but keep him in mind in the second half of 2024.
