OF Mikey Murphy (Minooka) used Saturday to record one of the top statistical performances of the winter – and that’s really no matter which event you’re comparing it to. Murphy started his day off by running a 6.31 time in the 60-yard dash, the fastest we’ve seen in 2022 (which includes the PBR Super 60), and he followed it up with a loud, strong round of BP. Murphy led the event in peak exit velocity (102.5 mph) and max batted ball distance (391 feet), and his best struck ball traveled 20 feet farther than the next closest. Murphy stays quiet and selective in the box and lets the ball travel deep into the zone. He showed a simple, easy swing and easy jump off the barrel while using the whole field. Murphy contains a dynamic tool-set to keep an eye on moving forward.
