John Murrian

Winthrop's starting catcher for the better part of three seasons, Murrian was a prep teammate of Matt Weiters and Justin Smoak. He followed Weiters as the catcher at Stratford High outside of Charleston, S.C., and had a solid three-year college career. He has solid-average catch-and-throw skills, with above-average raw arm strength that helped him throw out 37 percent of basestealers in 2009. He's a patient hitter with below-average power.
