Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
6-foot-4, 215-pound right-handed hitting first baseman. Ran a 4.9 down the line on his dig to first base. The glove is very good around the bag and the feet work well. The target is big and he receives the ball in height. Threw 67 mph across the diamond, the arm could advance with an off-season throwing program. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 80 mph, as gains in physical strength are integral. The setup is wide in base, front foot steps into the swing. The path is long to contact, needs better direction at the start. The leverage is good, and he swung the bat well in the game, singling and doubling. Uses a 1-handed finish after contact.
Large frame standing 6-foot-5, 215-pounds. Stays behind the ball, average footwork around the bag, long arm-action, releases the ball from a high 3/4 arm slot with 67 mph arm-strength. Narrow stance, Keeps hands high thru the zone, Short to the ball, Minimal hit rotation, Pulls off the ball at times
NY All-Star Games (September 17, 2016)
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.
Eastern NY Prospect Preview (August 2, 2016)
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.
