2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Hello.
I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Bennett Murray, I am 18 years old, a senior at Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore, CA (southern California), and I am a starting varsity catcher. I currently have a 3.89 GPA, I am interested in studying business or communications.
I was born in Wyoming, Minnesota on October 14, 2005, but moved shortly after to Southern California. I started playing baseball at age 4 at Murrieta Valley PONY Baseball and have been playing baseball ever since. After a few years, I joined a travel team at 8U. My current club team is Easton Prime Clippers and Deacons Baseball Club.
My mom was a swimmer in high school and is now a contracts attorney and small business owner. My dad was a sponsored amateur skateboarder and also ran cross country in high school. As he got older, he participated in numerous triathlons, marathons, half marathons, and half Ironman’s. He is a contractor in business with my uncle, who played water polo for University of Southern California (USC).
I bat and throw right. My main position is catcher, but I can also play infield. I train 2 to 3 times a week with a strength and agility trainer, as well as train weekly with a batting and catching coach. I work hard, have a positive and happy attitude, and I love my teammates.
Thank you for taking time and reading my personal statement.

- Dave Serrano Evaluation: Hitting: Really liked your approach at the plate. Felt like you had a nice short stroke and a good plan of attack every time you stepped in the box. You used count leverage well. But, felt you got a little too wide in your stance with two strikes which resulted in losing your good athletic ability. I think it’s important for you to understand who you can be as an offensive player and stay within those means. Power: Power develops at different times for different people. Stay focused on finding the barrel consistently and not worry about power yet. Let it come naturally. Your exit velo was 78, which is below average for your grade. Strength and development will continue to increase this in the future. Fielding: Thought you had a great set up behind the plate. You seem like a guy pitchers like to throw to. I evaluated you with a good catch-and-release. I think you will need to improve your arm even with your quick release. But overall, I believe you are a guy that can catch at the next level. Running: As you probably know, this is an area you need to improve in. You play a position where speed isn’t a factor, but the more you improve in this area, the more athletic you will become. Being younger, your speed will improve as you continue to grow and get stronger.

- Bennett Murray (2024 C, Murrieta, CA) ended his day 2-for-3, used the whole field and made solid contact. Murray saw the ball well and took advantage of miss pitches. He has a short compact swing. Bennett Murray (2024 C, Murrieta, CA) is a 2024 who looks very young in the face and has a 5-10/155 build. He has a very nice swing to grow into over the next few years as he gets bigger and stronger. https://www.perfectgame.org/(X(1)S(gp3wrczmltj42ovb34jt0nrb))/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=785312
