Biographical Information

Graeham Luttor went to high school in Canada, to college in Canada and the US and then played in Belgium, Austria and New Zealand as well as for the Hungarian national team - all by age 25.

Luttor hit .324/.433/.568 with 47 RBI in 43 games his first season at Midway and won River States Conference Freshman of the Year. He slipped to .258/.400/.492 as a sophomore with 31 RBI in 34 games and rebounded to .317/.474/.600 in the COVID-19-shortened 2020. His last year at Midway, he eked out a .212/.340/.351 line for a big drop-off.

He then signed with the MSG Phoenix team in Belgium. He hit .333/.435/.611 in six games in '21. He then moved to the Dornbirn Indians as player-head coach in the 2022 Austrian Bundesliga. He was used at 1B, 2B and DH, handling 51 chances error-free while batting .450/.578/.900. He had 23 runs and 21 RBI in 17 games and also pitched two shutout innings. He was among the leaders in average (2nd, .009 off the pace), OBP (2nd, .017 behind), slugging (1st by .041), OPS (1st obviously) and doubles (10, tied for 2nd, 4 behind Ferdinand Obed).

The Toronto native spent the winter in New Zealand as a player and youth coach. He hit .409/.533/.773 with eight runs and nine RBI in six games for the Indians in the 2023 Federations Cup. He allowed six runs in four innings to lose to Bohdan Lucheiko and Gorn. He was tied for second in runs (behind Obed), tied for 5th in hits, tied for 4th with two doubles, tied Illia Velykyi and Joel Johnson for the lead in homers (2), tied Ben Johnson for 3rd in RBI, was second with 17 total bases (one behind Velykyi), was 5th in OBP and tied Alexander Vaclavik for 3rd in slugging. Dornbirn won to give Austria a spot in the next year's Confederation Cup. In Austria that summer, his batting line was .527/.603/.964 with 23 runs and 17 RBI in 19 games, though he was 2-for-10 in the postseason. He won the batting title by .087 over Pearce Howard. He also led in OBP (.052 ahead of Benni Salzmann), 1st in slugging (.173 ahead of Howard), again obviously led in OPS and tied for second with six homers. His busy year continued with representing Hungary in their first European Championship, the 2023 European Championship. In their opener, he was the DH and batted third. He struck out against Italy's Matteo Bocchi his first at-bat but then doubled off Bocchi in the 4th to drive in César Chacin with Hungary's first European Championship run. His two-run shot off Sweden's Oskar Syrén in their third game was Hungary's first homer. He went yard off Croatia's José Mendoza a day later for their second dinger. He finished the Euros at .526/.600/1.000 with 9 runs and 7 RBI in 6 games, handling seven chances error-free at first. He had more than twice as many runs as any other Hungarian player (Ádám Domsicz, Chacin and Bálint Piros each had four) and also led them in hits (10, 3 ahead of Carlos Rubio), doubles (3, tied with Piros), homers (both of the team's dingers), total bases (19, 8 ahead of Piros) and all rate stats among the regulars. About the only thing he didn't lead them in was RBI, as he was two shy of Piros. For the Euros at large, he tied MVP Wander Encarnación and Ricardo Paolini for 4th in runs, tied for 6th in hits, tied for 9th in doubles, tied for 6th in home runs, tied Encarnación for 7th in total bases, was 4th in average, was 5th in OBP (between Nick Ward and Encarnación), ranked third in slugging (after Ward and Juremi Profar) and was 3rd in OPS (behind the same duo).
