Gavin Grahovac

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #6 prospect in 2026 draft
  School: Texas A&M. Drafted: Never Drafted
  
  Age At Draft: 21.5
  
  There was plenty of draft buzz surrounding Grahovac last spring, but he remained strong in his committment to the Aggies. The physical third baseman has thrived during his time in College Station so far and has emerged as a top-third-of-the-order bat for Texas A&M’s potent offense. Grahovac is as strong as an ox, and he has a powerful swing with plenty of wrist and forearm strength. He rotates well, hits against a firm front side and is consistently able to generate high-quality impact to all fields. Spin and secondary offerings in general are a little bit of a bugaboo, and it is a power-over-hit profile. Grahovac has the arm strength for third, but he is a fringy athlete with somewhat stiff hands. He certainly will have the chance to progress at the position, but I do wonder about where he will end up long term.

  Grahovac is a cousin of Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell and the son of former Giants minor league catcher Mike Grahovac. He emerged as one of the best prep hitters for his age as an underclassman at Villa Park (Calif.) High to earn lofty comparisons to sluggers like Spencer Torkelson and Paul Goldschmidt, but he hit just .185 with a team-high eight strikeouts for USA Baseball’s 18U National Team last summer and continued to struggle against good pitching on the summer showcase circuit and throughout the spring. Grahovac is strong, physically-mature righthanded hitter with plus raw power. He crushes fastballs over the plate and has a feel for hunting pitches he can drive. Grahovac has power and can get to it in games, but he has a grooved swing and struggles to recognize breaking balls. He swings hard to one spot and lacks adjustability in his swing, often missing breaking pitches by a foot or more. He projects to be a below-average hitter and will have to improve his swing and pitch recognition to fulfill his power potential. Grahovac is a fringy runner and slow mover at shortstop who will have to move positions in pro ball. He will likely end up in a corner outfield spot, but he has shown some ability to catch. He has above-average arm strength that will play in any spot. Grahovac’s power and pedigree makes him a draft prospect, but most teams feel he’d be best served going to college and improving his offensive game. He is committed to Texas A&M.
