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.
