Luke Murton is the Phillies’ new player development director, following Preston Mattingly’s recent promotion to GM.

Murton spent the past two years as the Minor League’s hitting development director, but he also split his team scouting amateur players that he thought would be good to bring into the system. One of those players was top prospect Aidan Miller. Murton talks about his journey from Georgia Teach to Yankees minor leaguer to scout with the Giants and Padres to Phils’ farm director.

He talks about his hitting and pitching philosophies, top prospects like Miller and Justin Crawford and more.
