Murphy

5-foot-11, 140 pounds, a slim and wiry athlete, his shoulders are sloped, and he has yet to start filling out. A right-handed pitcher, Murphy sets up far over to the first base side of the rubber and sways toward the third base side, before. The arm swing is short and clean on the backside. There is plenty of extension on his stride and he works from a high ¾ slot. Engages the lower half with back leg drive. The delivery is inline, with simple, repeatable mechanics. Out of the stretch, Murphy is incredibly quick to deliver the ball, posting a 1.16 time to the plate. Murphy’s fastball works between 76-79 MPH, a number that should continue to spike up in the coming years as he matures and fills out his frame. The ball has some life out his hand. The top secondary pitch was his changeup, has proper spin and shape, with great arm speed selling it well, clocked at 72-73 mph, looks to be able to throw it to both righties and lefties. The breaking ball reached 66 mph, showed good hand speed, average break, more of a get me over pitch. Is super athletic repeats the delivery, all pitches are in the zone, real good follow, velocity should jump.
