(Brentwood, 2025) Murphy has been on an absolute tear this early spring season where he has shown his power production with two early season HR’s. The first one was a backside go-ahead 3 run bomb to clinch the game. The 2nd one Murphy showed the ability to turn the box and get the bat-head out for easy pull-side loft. He showed really strong exit velocities this past fall at our Prep Baseball scout day, while displaying pretty good athleticism for being 6 foot 1 and 210 pounds, clocking in with a 7.3 sixty. He has developed arm strength in the upper 70’s, while also making good throws to second during the game where he really should have thrown 2 runners out if not for drops. He is a top-100 player in the 2025 class and likely continues to move up.
