Schuck on a Truck Zoom Edition: Former Quincy University pitcher Graham Spraker
Graham Spraker reinvented himself as a pitcher and could find himself pitching in the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen in the near future. The former Quincy University right-hander, who was a 31st round draft pick of the Blue Jays in 2017 after leading the Hawks to the NCAA Division II World Series, is coming off an impressive season with the Class AA New Hampshire FisherCats and a more impressive fall with the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League.
Spraker was named the AFL Reliever of the Year after posting a 0.00 earned run in 11.1 innings with 17 strikeouts. He allowed only six baserunners. The 6-foot-3 Spraker earned the save with a three-up, three-down effort in the Fall Stars Game and recorded the final three outs in the Solar Sox’s 6-0 championship game victory.
This came after pitching 42.2 innings with the FisherCats in which he put together a 2.74 ERA with 62 strikeouts, a 2-1 record and two saves.
Spraker joined Muddy River Sports Editor Matt Schuckman from his offseason home in Phoenix for the Zoom interview, brought to you by Refreshment Services Pepsi.
