GRAHAM GETS 4TH START IN COMEBACK
No one, would have predicted the comeback thus far for J.R. Graham, Braves' top pitching prospect, circa 2012. Graham has worked 13.1 innings over his three starts so far, totaling 8 hits, no earned runs (one unearned run which gave him a 1-0 loss), two walks but just four strikeouts. Hitters are flailing away at a .190 clip.
None of Graham's starts have topped 70 pitches, so he is not yet at 100 percent. Keep in mind, when he was healthy, he began his pro career with a 17-4 record before his shoulder bummed out last year. The thing to keep in mind is that he has not had surgery; he rehabbed it the old school way.
