GRAHAM DUKE / RHP / 3B / CORNERSVILLE, TN / 2019FB (81-85), CB (69-72), CH (74-75) - 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 12 K - 2-2, BB Righty struck out 12, thanks primarily to his tight CB that elicited 10 swing and misses on 13 swings. Medium, sturdy frame w/ present lower half strength, close to mature frame. Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the middle of the rubber. Bit of a rock and fire style delivery. Some deception with the glove. Quick arm w/ some effort in the throw. Straight FB showed occasional short arm-side run. Tight medium downer CB is his go-to pitch. Above average offering w/ tight rotation, slightly above average depth. Put-away pitch at the next level. Flashes ability to throw it for a strike, understands how to bury it. Mixed in a couple CHs, slowed his body down once, shows arm-speed w/ fade and sink. Has the makings of an average or better pitch, just needs to get more comfortable throwing it. Around the zone w/ his 3-pitch mix. Projects to command. Has some tools offensively, showing some bat speed and an ability to get on time w/ some barrel feel, but future is on the mound.
