Graham Hardin, a right-handed pitcher from Lubbock Coronado, showcased his potential at the Dallas ID. His fastball sat between 87-89 mph, and his sinker stood out with good late movement. His pitch mix includes a slider (78-81 mph), curveball (77-78 mph), and a changeup (80-81 mph), all of which he can command well. The Jr. to be has an advanced feel for his pitches, with his sinker producing heavy ground ball contact. Hardin’s physical frame will allow his stuff to continue to improve, as there is plenty of strength to gain. A promising young arm with a starter’s profile, he’ll be one to follow closely as his development progresses.
