3/25/25
Magruder continues to grow on me after a solid live look during the 2024 high school season and a strong showing at the 2024 Future Games Tryout: Orange County and now with this my first look in 2025. The most noticeable thing immediately was the development to his frame looking more athletic with emerging strength, he is trending up on the physical side. Then getting five at bats from the left-handed hitter his operation in the box is on the rise with a smoother, quicker swing that is showing the ability to work uphill with leverage/loft from the left centerfield gap to the pull side. Magruder was on the barrel in three different at bats lofting two deep drives to centerfield and a line drive to left centerfield (two in 2K counts) and drew a pair of walks. In addition to his upward trending offensive profile he showed a strong presence behind the plate. His receiving/ blocking have both ticked up from a solid tool set to what now looks to be a strong profile behind the plate. He popped 2.02 consistently on his throw downs between innings while showing high IQ and command of the game from behind the plate. Magruder is a high-quality name to follow in the 2026 class for college programs.

Matthew Magruder, Thousand Oaks High (CA), 2026

Positional Profile: C/2B Quality defender behind the plate who shows a strong foundation to stay at C with emerging LH hitting profile that has potential.

Body: 5-9, 175-pounds. Medium frame with some wiry strength up top and development in lower half with room to fill across.

Hit: LHH. Balanced stance with knees under shoulders and slightly open feet with slight knee bend and taller upper body posture. Barrel lays flat over his rear shoulder with lower hand set up about shoulder height and low back elbow. Lifts barrel up to load hands with barrel tipped slightly forward while shifting his weight into the back hip and drawing his front foot back slighlty. Then uses a medium length forward move to launch position which transitions into a swing that utilizes the hips and upper body to generate bat speed with back foot sliding slighlty and some tilt to finish with rear shoulder clearing through the ball. Hand path is direct to the ball with leverage in his bat path to get to a high finish which plays to middle/pull side approach to drive the ball.

Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 81.6 mph. 323' max distance. Flatter swing plane that features more leverage than lift predominantly produces LD to ground ball contact with pull side lift. Shows some consistency to finding the sweet spot, but with lower top end EVs power profiles as doubles currently from line to line.

Arm: RH. C-74 mph. Compact transfer which occurs around the chest with elbow leading hand out of glove and hand getting to the ear quickly with a short circle and quick release to get ball out of hand to 2B. Throws show some carry and accuracy

Defense: 2.00-2.07 pop times. Quiet actions behind the plate with feel to receive/present the ball naturally and flashes agility with mobility in his block. Should stay at C long term.

ATH: 7.93 runner in the 60. 1.77 and 4.30 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Stays low throughout the run process with builds speed with some quickness. Takes short quick strides with body control 22.80 max vertical."
