22. Gavin Grahovac, OF, Villa Park HS (CA) – You will get a ton of different opinions on where Grahovac ends up defensively long term, some think he can stick as a catcher, some see him in the dirt, but ultimately it will probably be a corner outfield spot. He doesn’t have a cannon of an arm, but he has enough and it is accurate which will keep right an option, and he makes really good reads and takes efficient routes so there is an outside shot he can make it in center. At the plate is where he stands out though, as he has a strong wide base hips that clear well and really good balance allowing him to make plenty of contact and the loft in his swing it suited well to drive the ball out of the ballpark.

Gavin Grahovac, OF/C, Villa Park (Calif.)

Current Draft Board Rank: 76

Grahovac is one of the better athletes in the entire prep class and shows an intriguing offensive profile to go along with it. The Texas A&M commit has the bat speed and strength to drive balls to all fields. Defensively, Grahovac has shown the ability to play in the outfield, on the dirt, and behind the plate. He likely ends up in the outfield where quality speed should provide value. The multitude of ways that Grahovac can impact a game should draw interest from clubs.

84 OF/C

Gavin Grahovac

Villa Park, Orange, CA

One of the better hitters on the West Coast, Grahovac has an all-fields approach and an willingness to take velocity the other way. He's got a strong frame with present power. The bat carries here as many evaluators think he has a fringy shot at sticking behind the plate, but the pure athlete and runner will fit completely fine in a corner outfield role.

Gavin Grahovac is a 2023 OF/C/IF with a 6-2 210 lb. frame from Orange, CA who attends Villa Park. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and physical strength proportioned well throughout frame. Runs well, posted a 6.78 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, fields the ball to side, comes through it well and utilizes a shorter arm path through the back, one hop accuracy to the intended base with quickness to arm stroke; similar arm action on throws across the infield, higher slot on throws, shows carry across diamond and will continue to refine overall actions. Right-handed hitter, begins with a wide and even base, has moving parts in lower half working into contact. Above average bat speed already through the zone, shows a handle for the barrel with a full swing path through the zone. Loud contact off the barrel, went deep out to left-center field in BP and picked up an opposite field double in live action; combination of bat speed and strength at impact stand out, easy power projection moving forward. Excellent student. Verbal commitment to Texas A&M.

It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

He sets up with an open stance that works into a hearty load. There’s violence through the zone with definite power projection. He adds plenty of value on the moun...
