The batterymate to RHP Zack Engelken and RHP/3B Ryan Ralston at Blue Valley West, Gragg is a physical specimen at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds. He shows solid receiving skills, but stands out for his arm. He has an absolute cannon behind the dish. He has what scouts look for in a catcher defensively, but there are questions about his bat. His strength gives him power and he has a good swing, but his pitch recognition hinders his results.
Per the request of several scouts, Gragg will also be taking the mound during the bullpen sessions.
