His first go-around wasn’t exactly what we all expected, but Kendall Graveman’s second chance could keep him up for good.
I was probably more excited than most when Graveman was awarded a rotation spot out of spring training. His numbers at every level he played were stellar, he appears to be a fantastic person away from the ballpark, and it just seemed right.
Then he started four games and it was clear he needed time in less stressful games to work on his command. After walking less than two batters per nine innings in 2014, Graveman issued nine walks in 16 innings in the majors in 2015.
