Baseball America on catching recruit Andrew Murray

Comments Off on Baseball America on catching recruit Andrew Murray

“Scouts don’t see another Top 200 prospect in the high school ranks in New Jersey, but they do see players with intriguing tools. Catcher Andrew Murray was a two-sport standout at Westfield High, the same high school that Stanford righthander Chris Jenkins attended. Murray is well put together at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds thanks to his time as a football player, but he’s let scouts know that he wants to play on the diamond. He has power and can handle the bat, but has below-average receiving skills and will likely end up as a first baseman or DH, putting a lot of pressure on his bat. He is committed to Georgia Tech.”
