Murray Hopcraft is a 2028 RHP/3B/OF with a 5-10 135 lb. frame from Fulshear, TX who attends Jordan High School. Primary RHP with a lean and athletic build with lots of growing ahead of him. Throws from a high 3/4 slot from a quick arm. Clean delivery to the plate with clean mechanics. Rides the slope downhill well and gets good arm extension downhill. Gets off his lower half from a shorter arm swing. Fastball showed good life to it and got in quick working up to 77. There is definitely more in the tank here with a velo jump expected later down the road. Flashed a curve but will need to work on this moving forward. Also played outfield and was up to 79 from there. Fields it deep and waits back a bit on the ball. Slow to get it out but has a strong arm and was accurate. Should get quicker with time. Also played infield with a clean 2 hand gather and funnel to chest. Works up the middle well with some lateral range and showed good feel with the footwork. Was up to 76 from across the diamond. Also ran a 7.59 sixty. Right handed hitter with a narrow upright base. Uses a medium sized leg lift and stride into contact for timing and rhythm. Developing bat speed and hand speed. Needs to be more consistent with timing.
