Fall Player Spotlights: Graham Hylton

October 11, 2022
Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

Prep Baseball Report Oklahoma is highlighted some of the top remaining uncommitted players in the 2023 class to a couple of the top 2025's.  Today we take a look at 2023 left-handed hitting catcher Graham Hylton.  The Mustang back stop sports one of the smoother strokes from the left-side with a line drive approach with exit velocities into the mid 90's.  On top of the offensive potential, Hylton shows strong catching skills with pop times ranging as low as 1.90 and takes his 6.94 running athleticism with him behind the plate with quick feet and strong blocking.  Teams at the next level looking for a left-handed hitting catcher with proven production in the past should take a closer look into the uncommitted Hylton.

Body: 6-0, 165-pounds. Athletic build with present strength and room for added size in the future.
 Hit: LHH. Starts with a very narrow base and neutral stance.  Upright posture with the hands getting set right above shoulder height tight to the body and a flat barrel angle.  Slow loads the weight into the back side.  Uses a knee knock leg lift stride with good balance and timing.  Lower half works hard and linear to a slightly bent front leg. Hands work quickly through the zone and shows good overall bat speed.  Whippy barrel path and lets the ball travel deep into the zone.  Level bat path with a line drive approach.  Uses the whole field well.  Maintains balance well throughout the swing.    Does a good job of matching plane with the pitch through extension.

 Arm: RH. C - 80 mph. INF - 85 mph.  High 3/4 arm slot with a short and clean arm action.
 Defense: In the infield attacks the ball with a feel for routes working around the ball and shorter strides.  Fields the ball out in front of the body with soft hands and good glove action.  Shows good lateral range and ability to field the ball on the move.  Behind the plate receives with good posture and one knee in the dirt.  Quick turn of the hips and feet on throws to second.  Throws had good carry and accuracy to the bag.  Strong blocking technique with good posture and quick hips.
