6/20/18 Defensively, glove hand is soft in receiving and framing. Graves presents a soft wall and maintains an appropriate trunk angle in blocking. Hands are quick and feet work well in achieving pop time of 2.19 on throws of 79 MPH from the crouch.
5-foot-8, 170-pound right-handed initiates swing from neutral set up with short stride to slightly open. Early hand leak reduces separation. Weight shift is aggressive. There is substantial hand and hip quickness. Intermittent, compromised backside release leads to occasional difficulty turning through the baseball. Strength and mechanics played to advanced, for age, bat exit velocity of 91 MPH.
