PBR Junior Future Games: One of the top overall performances of the day came from C/MIF Grady Cheever (Germantown, 2027). Starting offensively, the switch-hitting backstop took a clean round of BP, utilizing a loose swing to consistently drive the ball from gap-to-gap, and topped at 89.2 mph on his hardest hit ball of the day. Behind the plate he was equally as impressive, marking pop-time lows of 2.04 which was the lowest of the group. Cheever also offers some high upside on the bump as we have seen him run his fastball up into the high-70s, with feel for multiple offspeed pitches and will certainly see some time on the bump this week.
Cheever swung a hot bat on Saturday from both sides of the plate. The switch-hitting catcher displayed a smooth swing that sent a ball over the right field wall from the left-handed box. On the right side, Cheever pulled a ball down the line that resulted in him landing an extra-base hit. Ended the game 3-for-3. Advanced instincts behind the dish defensively. Cheever showed up yet again later in the weekend, this time in a semi-final game to keep his squad alive. Cheever came in to close the game and went two and two-thirds innings, allowing just one hit and striking out three. On the other side of the ball, he sent his team to the championship game with a two-run-walkoff single up the middle. The timely hit capped off a 3-for-4 day for the 2027 grad.
Dynamic player that showed well on both sides of the ball for PTA Cardinal on Thursday morning. Found multiple barrels at the plate going 2-for-3 out of the three-hole and playing a solid shortstop. Athletic swing that stays on plane and in the zone. On the mound, he attacked hitters with a heavy dose of fastballs to both sides of the plate. Fastball sat in the mid-to-upper 70’s and topped at 78 during his two-inning save.
C/RHP Grady Cheever (Germantown, 2027) was one of the biggest winners of the day as he opened eyes with the bat, behind the plate and on the mound. Cheever has a very projectable build at 5-foot-11, 135-pounds with a lot of room for more growth and mass. Cheever started his day by running a solid 7.58 second 60-yard dash which was the eighth-best time for the event. At the plate, the switch hitting backstop hit liners all over the field with a loose free and easy swing maxing out his exit velocity at 85 mph and hit the farthest ball of the day at 293 feet. Behind the plate, Cheever showcased soft hands and a willingness to keep balls in front on pitches in the dirt. On the mound, Cheever has an athletic delivery and a fastball that reached into the upper-70s (78 mph max) which was the fourth-fastest of the event. He displayed a four-pitch mix with feel to land the entire arsenal for strikes.
