(Wauconda IL, 2025) The uncommitted junior put together a very solid start in what is still a very early season for the Illinois team traveling to TN for the Riverdale Warrior Classic. The 6’, 185 lbs frame works very well down the mound and has lots of room for continued development. The fastball flashed 86 in the early goings, before settling in the 82-83 range, he would often turn to a sharp big breaking curveball that accounted for most of his strikeouts. Look for the velocity to jump slightly as he gets deeper into the season, pitchability is there for the great framed ‘25 grad.

Murphy gave an intriguing look in front of our staff on Friday morning. Strong 6-foot, 185-pound frame that moves well on the mound. Clean, short arm action with acceleration out front. Mostly relied on a low-80s fastball that topped 82 mph and got swings and misses up in the zone. Flashed out-pitch potential with a low-70s curveball that forced weak contact.
