The VEB Super Podcast Weekend continues with our featured presentation!
Minor League writer Blake Newberry and Kyle Reis, along with your intrepid host (me!), interview Caridnals’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year Gordon Graceffo!
Graceffo had a brilliant year in 2022, his first full season in the minors. He downright bullied Peoria, producing a 1.71 FIP (.99 ERA). Perhaps even more impressive was his 33.9% K rate and his 2.4% BB rate. That’s a 14.00 K/BB ratio. Incredible.
With those kinds of measurables, the Cardinals had no reason not to push him. They advanced Graceffo after just 45 innings to AA Springfield.
