Graves just continues to get better and better each time our staff sees him. Starting with a solid 2024 CIF-SS spring season look into a very good Future Games Tryout: Ventura County and Ventura County Uncommitted Games the LH hitter out of Agoura wanted one more chance to show his tools/development before the start of his JR. campaign and made the most of it. After a first round spent getting himself comfortable Graves started to drive the ball in this 2nd/3rd rounds of BP and with a strong wind blowing straight in from RCF was able to drill a few balls through the wind deep in the the gap. Graves reached a personal best on his hard hit rate at 22%, max EV at 91.2 MPH, avg EV at 85.7 MPH, and sweet spot rate at 56%. As well, he clocked a new low in the 60 with a 7.16 time and showed improved footwork/hands/arm action looking more and more like a strong defender at 2B who can bring offensive upside.
