Owen
Murphy

Murphy is another impact freshman arm to keep an eye on. 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame. The right-hander operates from a simple delivery with a high leg lift. Long, whippy arm action from a ¾ arm slot. His fastball sat 87-90 mph with straight actions. Murphy showed a sinker that sat 83-85 mph. The pitch had an impressive average horizontal movement of 19.7 inches. His changeup looks to be a standout pitch as it sat 76-79 mph. The pitch had an average horizontal movement of 21.7 inches. Murphy rounded out his four-pitch mix with a slider that sat 71-73 mph with late bite.
