Matt Graham - RHP/UT

College: Undecided 
Class: 2009
HS: Oak Ridge 

Partin on Graham: "Matt Graham is an absolute freak. He's got no fear on the mound and he's ferocious. If Graham wants to use a one pitch menu he can. He can dominate a game simply with his fastball. He sits in the lower 90's, touching 94 mph or better. And it's not a straight 94 mph - that thing is moving all over the place. Not to be overshadowed by his fastball, Graham flashes one of the most dominant power curveballs I have seen. It's a hard upper 70's downward tilting knockout-pitch. He's the guy you want on the mound if there's one game you need to win. The humble right-hander is in a class by himself. We're very excited to have him in a Dirtbag uniform again in 2008.
