Layton Murrell, Springtown (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: C/OF RHH/C Will add strength, good catchers build. Moves well on baseball field as catcher. Solid receiver developing, hands work, frames well. Nice exchange to throw with quality pop times in workouts. Like the future bat/power combo, development opportunities present with both approach and swing. Interesting player to watch develop. Certainly will be asset behind plate as catcher.
Body: 6-1, 194-pounds. Good build/frame. Width to shoulders and back. Shows strength to lower 1/2 now. Projects well in future.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Lower 1/2 use can improve, rotational back foot now that just spins and moves forward slightly. With rotation of back foot, explode lower 1/2 into firm front side maximizing use of lower 1/2. Stay into balls of feet, lacks balance at times. Barrel/hands in good launch position. Nice of job of taking hands and barrel to zone. Expect bat/hand speed to increase with added strength. Recommend trying overload and under load drills to increase bat speed as well. 62.6 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 81.2 mph. 255' max distance. Project solid bat/power combo in future. Development opportunities present with firming of hit approach. Swing works, looking for bat speed to increase.
Arm: RH. C-78 mph. Arm works, arm speed developing. Throws show carry at times. Solid pop times, consistent in workouts.
Defense: 1.90-2.00 pop times. Receives well. Solid exchange from glove to hand to throw. Feet work well throwing. Moves fine behind the plate. Will continue to improve.
ATH: 7.54 runner in the 60. 1.80 and 4.16 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard. Upright runner, work develop some lean forward with head and shoulders. 16.20 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 65.92 Edge Score

Layton Murrell, Springtown (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: C/OF Catcher with upside. Solid receiver and pop times, pop times can improve with adjustments. Opportunities at plate to improve bat/power combo. Will fun to watch him develop.
Body: 6-0, 178-pounds. Solid build/frame for future strength, good build in future.
Hit: RHH. Solid set up with weight evenly distributed, weight shift back to initiate knee lift stride. Lands in good position to hit with rotational back foot. Okay use of lower 1/2 in swing presently, would like to see him try to get slight linear movement forward with back foot and maintain upright posture. Looking for this to improve lower 1/2 use. Hands/barrel start in solid position to hit, hand movement to start swing creates length with slight wrap and barrel tip movement. Can get barrel in better position to launch aiding fair bat speed with short swing. Does have nice path thru zone when he gets there. 63 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 83.6 mph. 291' max distance. Opportunities for adjustments, upside to bat/power combo. See developing raw to pull side.
Arm: RH. C-78 mph. Arm works with quickness present. Raw arm strength will continue to improve. Solid pop times.
Defense: 1.94-2.01 pop times. Receives well. Foot work is solid on setting to throw, stands up to throw, can stay down and more athletic. Solid pop times now, can improve.
ATH: 7.49 runner in the 60. Runs hard. 24.80 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 68.02 Edge Score
