Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 4
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Taller for a middle infielder with long legs and a high waist; average bulk.
Hit: Slightly open stance with a wide base, upright with his hands at his shoulder. Compact swing with average bat speed; repeats swing well; does a solid job of making contact; commands the strike zone well; good plate coverage. Grade: 45
Power: Does possess fringe-average to average raw power due to frame and natural strength, however his swing is geared for contact, he does not engage his lower half effectively, leading to little in-game power, on occasion will show some ability to drive the ball into the gaps. Grade: 40
Field: Has the potential to stick at shortstop due to average athleticism and quality instincts. Does not have a quick first step but instincts help make up for slight lack of suddenness. Range is average to slightly above-average. Has the potential to be a serviceable middle infielder who could also play third. Grade: 45
Arm: Strong, loose arm; average carry and accuracy; enough arm to handle short. Grade: 50
Run: Average runner, slightly better underway. Grade: 50
Overall: Murray lacks a standout tool but has enough polish and feel that he should move through the lower minors quickly. He shows the ability to make consistent contact and control the strike-zone, his glove and arm are enough to project him to stay at short defensively. His lack of in-game power is holding his profile back.
