View Draft Report

Murray has a strong three-year track record of hitting at UC Davis in the Big West Conference and with a chance to stick at shortstop he should be a target for most teams in the 4-7 round range. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound shortstop has hit over .300 in each season with the Aggies and has a career .343/.394/.469 line in 115 games. He’s a hit-over-power bat at the moment, but scouts think he could grow into more power in a few years with some projection and room for more weight on his frame. While Murray has performed with UC Davis, he struggled last summer in the Cape Cod League, where he hit just .211/.272/.307 in 35 games, with 27 strikeouts to nine walks. Defensively Murray has a chance to stick at shortstop with solid hands, but some scouts think he’ll outgrow the position and be a better candidate to move around the infield, play a number of positions and give utility value. He’s a fringy runner without a ton of present pop, so Murray’s value comes from his hit tool, defensive versatility and collegiate track record.
