Drew Steckenrider is a six-foot-five, 215 lb. right-handed relief pitcher from Atlanta, GA. Born on January 10th, 1991, he was originally chosen out of the University of Tennessee by the Miami Marlins in the eighth round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Entry Draft.
In three seasons of Division 1 baseball for the Volunteers, Steckenrider started in nine of his 56 appearances overall, going 6-7 with a 4.46 ERA. He struck out 132 batters in 113 1/3 innings for a 10.5 career collegiate K/9 rate. Soon after his selection, he underwent Tommy John Surgery.
After recovering, Steckenrider worked his way up through the Miami Marlins minor league system through the next five years before finally making his major league debut in 2017 ranked as the number nine prospect in the system by MLB Pipeline.
