| Summary: Gracia adjusted his stance between high school and his first year at Duke, opening up and that has really allowed him to get hard contact with more frequency. The bat is quick from a smooth left handed stroke and the ball really jumps off the bat, especially to the pull side. The bat can get a bit long at times and he has struggled in the past, but he has been improving regularly there and he stays on top of the ball well. In the field, his arm projects well for right field although the arm may grade out average in the end. He has solid instincts in the outfield and enough speed to show solid range at either corner. There are plenty of tools and a ton of upside in the profile, although there is no real plus tool for me currently, although he has plus potential with both his hit and power tools. | |||||||||||
