After earning three Middlesex League All-Star honors in baseball and two in both basketball and golf during his Wilmington High career, Gracia has been an impact arm at Franklin Pierce. The rising junior has recorded two wins, four saves and 48 strikeouts over 67.1 career innings as a Raven. He held opponents to a .238 average as a Northeast-10 Conference All-Rookie Team pitcher in 2019 before adding a win and a save to his record through four outings this spring.

North Shore will be Gracia’s second stop on the Futures League circuit as he pitched in five games for the Nashua Silver Knights last summer. He posted a 2-0 record, 2.35 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 23 innings for the Navs’ rivals in 2019.
