A gold medalist for the USA 15U National Team at the U-15 World Cup in 2022 and again in 2024 as one of two underclassmen on Team USA at the U-18 World Cup Americas Qualifier, Murrietta is polished behind the plate with a chance to develop into a plus defensive catcher. He’s a talented receiver with great hands who frames pitches well to steal strikes. He’s loose, flexible, blocks well and controls the running game. It’s not elite arm strength but it’s accurate with a quick release and can get his pop times under 1.9 seconds on his best throws. Murrietta doesn’t have huge physical upside, but he has performed at a high level offensively. He has quiet hands in a simple, compact swing with good balance and bat-to-ball skills, making a lot of contact with doubles power to both alleys and a knack for wearing out right-center field.
