Versatile infield bat with real MEAC production
In the 2025 season, Graves brings proven midlineup value to Howard as a steady infielder who has translated into consistent offense, including a .347 batting average, 25 hits, and 14 RBIs early in the year while ranking among the MEAC leaders in those categories. She showed this wasn’t a fluke in 2024 at NCCU, where she was a third-team All-MEAC selection and a team leader in batting average (.350), slugging (.496), and RBIs. The big differentiator: she’s a reliable, productive contact hitter with pop and the experience to handle pressure in a competitive conference.
