Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's got a very impressive low-90s heat, as well as a sinking change-up that he throws with amazing accuracy. Whether you're a left-handed hitter or right-handed, he's equally dominant.
Flaws
  • Graves watches it go more often than he should and too often suffers from command trouble. He's got to keep the ball down in the zone because his high fastball is just not going to beat big-league power hitters.
Career Potential
  • Once a solid closer, his command has vanished.
