Tanner Graham is emerging as a high-upside freshman arm for Evansville
In the 2026 season, Tanner Graham has already shown he can work like a future weekend starter: he owns a 2.96 ERA, has struck out 23 batters in 27.1 innings, and has held opponents to a .245 average while earning three MVC Freshman of the Week honors. Evansville’s coaches have trusted him in both relief and the rotation, and his best outing came in a seven-inning shutout of Illinois State with eight strikeouts and no walks. His profile suggests a poised, strike-throwing righty with real command and composure, making him a strong fit for a team that values polish and competitiveness.[7][4][5]
