Peyton Graham
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Graham’s 2026 season reopens the possibility that the second-round offensive profile can develop into a useful major-league contributor, particularly because the combination of on-base ability and speed gives him value even when the power is only moderate. The likely path is through third base and occasional shortstop or second-base work, with the bat needing to reach at least average contact and the defense needing to remain playable. His floor is a versatile upper-minors infielder who can run and take a walk, while the ceiling is a second-division regular if the 2026 approach and contact gains hold against better breaking pitches. At age 25 in Double-A, this is more refinement than projection, so the timeline and margin for error are narrowing.
