Sean Gamble

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #45 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. Drafted/Committed: Vanderbilt
  Age At Draft: 19.0
  BA Grade: 55/Extreme
  
  Gamble is an Iowa native who played his high school ball at powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He’s a 6-foot-2, 185-pound lefthanded hitter who has a mix of high-end tools, athleticism and upside. Gamble has loud bat speed and early in his prep career would swing with intent and explosion that led to impressive impact but also came with plenty of swing-and-miss tendencies. He added a lot more polish, efficiency and control to his swing during the 2024 summer showcase circuit and was one of the more impressive performers in the class. Gamble’s swing can still get a bit long at times and he will need to continue refining his approach, but he has a chance to hit for solid average and power. He’s an easy plus runner who gets out of the box quickly and should be a consistent basestealing threat. Gamble has a number of potential defensive landing spots. He primarily played second base as a senior with IMG Academy but has the arm strength for the left side of the infield. Gamble has workmanlike actions in the infield and will need to improve his arm versatility to stick there. He also has plenty of exposure in the outfield, and there are plenty of scouts who think he looks more natural as a center fielder. His longer arm action plays better on the grass, and he also has more than enough speed and natural athleticism to become an above-average defender. Gamble is a Vanderbilt commit and top-two-rounds talent.

  An Iowa native at powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., Gamble has shown a mix of high-end tools, athleticism and upside. As an underclassman, Gamble showed an aggressive, explosive swing to produce big bat speed from the left side. That swing would get big at times, but in 2024 his swing has looked more efficient and under control, showing the ability to drive the ball for extra-base damage to all fields. He’s a plus runner as well, giving him a chance to become a power-speed threat if everything clicks. With a quick first step and a strong arm, Gamble has experience both in the infield and the outfield, potentially fitting at second or third base in the infield or center field in the outfield.
