Pre Season All State Spotlight: Gabe Murray

January 30, 2024
Zach Boraski
North Carolina Assistant Scouting Director

Each year the month of February in North Carolina is a big one for baseball players.  With the high school spring season coming, and the off-period of November and December, players have had some time to work on their strengths and improve their weaknesses.  They have been in the weight room and in the cages.  As we enter February, Prep Baseball begins its work to continue to identify and update our notes on prospects in North Carolina. 

The Preseason All-State events have become spotlight events in the state.  This year there are 3 opportunities for some of the best players in the state to show-off their off-season gains, while working out with other top talents.  Prep Baseball will be in Greenville, NC on February 3rd, Maiden, NC on February 4th, and Kernersville, NC on February 10th.  The Prep Baseball scouting staff is expecting to see 250 of the top players in North Carolina across these three events.

Below we profile a player that is scheduled to attend a Preseason All-State event.

Scouting Report

A 2023 PBR Futures Game Alum the RHP from Fuquay-Varina is known for his elite athleticism. Coming at hitters from a 3/4 angle,  Murrays upper 80's fastball with heavy arm side run is very uncomfortable for batters. The breaking ball has good shape and average spin up to 2300, will continue to improve as he contiunes to mature. Murray is a exciting uncommitted arm in the 2025 class and we look forward to seeing how he has progressed.
