RHP Alex Graber (Homestead, 2024; Northern Illinois commit) impressed with an innate feel to spin his breaking ball. The right-hander went to his sweeping slider often, playing with sharp 10/4 action at 78-80 mph and playing with over 2600 RPM at times. His fastball played in the 87-89 mph range with life through the zone. He also flashed a straight changeup in the low-80s to fill out his arsenal.
