One of the players I’ve been excited to watch is Kendall Graveman. As far as I’m concerned, it’s interesting any time a starting pitcher can throw a hard fastball or sinker. The issue to date is that he’s been pretty ordinary given that all of his pitches are reliant on inducing weak contact. With a good defense, that’s not a bad approach, but there’s a chance that Graveman is about to become much more than he’s been. And it’s all because of his fastball.
Back in 2017, Jeff Sullivan wrote about how Graveman’s sinker velocity had spiked.
