Murf Gray has been one of the hottest hitters in the Pirates’ minor league system, and on this week’s Bucs On Deck, Jim and Anthony Murphy break down what makes his early pro performance so interesting.

Gray, a competitive balance pick in last year’s draft, is already showing an intriguing offensive profile in Bradenton with power, hard contact, strong bat-to-ball skills, and the type of production that could push him quickly through the system. But the biggest question may be on the defensive side: can he stick at third base, or does a potential move to first base change how we view his prospect ceiling?

Jim and Murph dive into Gray’s bat, his contact quality, his defensive outlook, and whether he could become a top-10 prospect in the Pirates system if everything clicks.

Watch the full breakdown on Bucs On Deck, part of the North Shore Nine podcast presented by FanDuel.
