Gianna Graber brings proven strikeout upside and New York pedigree to Niagara’s circle
Gianna Graber enters Niagara with a strong prep résumé, including 2023/2024 All-WNY first-team honors, Pitcher of the Year recognition, and a 2025 season at Niagara-Wheatfield that featured a 16-4 record, 1.93 ERA, and 177 strikeouts; that combination points to a pitcher with real bat-missing ability and competitive stability.[4][5] Early at the college level, she has already been used regularly for Niagara, appearing in all five of the team’s first five games in 2026, which suggests the staff trusts her in the rotation.[1] She also looks like a fit for teams that value toughness and volume, though her freshman transition has included some rough results against stronger lineups as she adjusts to Division I hitters.[6][8]
