Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.8
A 6-foot-6, 215-pound righthander, Cravey has been a solid and reliable starter for Samford for more than two seasons. He only started four games in 2021, with 11 appearances out of the bullpen, but he moved into a full-time starting role in 2022 and 2023. During his 2023 junior season, Cravey posted a 3.01 ERA over 16 starts and 104.2 innings, with a career-best 28.8% strikeout rate and solid 9.2% walk rate. Cravey throws with a slightly higher three-quarter arm slot and has an open toe finish that might create some pause for teams. He has a solid three-pitch mix headlined by a 91-93 mph fastball that has been up to 96-97, with around 20 inches of induced vertical break. He has solid feel for both of his secondaries: the first a low-80s slider that’s more of a fringy breaking ball that flattens out at times, and the second a low-to-mid-80s changeup with 12 inches of arm-side fade.
