Eric Grabe has made alot of stops since high school. He has played for three colleges and also played in the Coastal Plains League for three straight summers. One thing that has remained constant is Grabe’s production.
Grabe has hit everywhere he has been. He has good bat speed and is willing to take a walk. While in high school, his 60 time was 6.98.
Grabe is a versatile defender, which should help him at the next level. He moves well in the infield and has a good arm. He can handle either third or second.
