MURFREESBORO, TN - The Murfreesboro Open was held on Tuesday, July 11th at Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro, TN. This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2024-2027 classes from Volunteer state. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Tuesday.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at the scouting reports gathered from the Murfreesboro Open.

Caleb Beavers, Silverdale Baptist Academy (TN), 2024
Positional Profile: RHP/SS
Body: 6-1, 195-pounds. Thicker frame with present muscle mass with some fleshiness. Can hold wait with more muscle mass added.
Delivery: Clean and fluid initial body mechanics when working out of the windup. Over the top with his glove with ball in hand to allow momentum to build and synch up his leg lift and hand break.
Arm Action: RH. Shorter and compact arm slot with minimal length and connected hand to ear action. Shows ability to repeat in the windup and stretch.
