60 Yard Dash: 8.46
Exit Velocity: 82
Positional Arm: 67

Murray stands in at 6-foot-4, 203-pounds with potential to firm up his frame. Ran a 8.43 – 60, 0.21 slower from his previous recorded time of 8.22 at the Eastern NY Prospect Preview in August 2016. Offensively- Sets up square to the pitcher with his back knee slightly bent. Upright body with his hands high near ear level moving the bat slightly pre pitch. On the pitch his trigger is a step forward with slight movement of the hands back. Bat path is level through the hitting zone, with a one handed finish at his shoulder. Good rotation on bottom half. Tends to jump at the pitch. A more defined trigger before attacking the ball would help sequence the swing more efficiently.Uses the whole field with some long term power potential. Recorded an exit velocity of 81 MPH. Defensively- Stays in front of the ball well. Tends to sit back and wait. Could improve by being more aggressive fielding the ball. Transition from glove to throwing hand is good, could improve with quicker footwork and a more movement towards his throwing target. Displayed a position arm velocity of 70 MPH.

Murray has tremendous size standing 6-foot-4, 203-pounds for a rising sophomore. Offensively, he shows a 78 mph exit velocity, uses a wide stance, gets on his front leg slightly early, bath path is direct and flat through the zone with full-finish. Increased overall strength should add more bat-speed. Defensively- stays behind the ball with a large target. Needs to work on his foot-speed and arm-strength as he develops. Murray needs a big winter training as he enters into his sophomore campaign.
