Murray

Lewis & Clark CC commit, standing in at a 5-foot-9, 165-pound frame. Murray took the mound for the Redbirds, coming one out away from a complete game shutout. The right-hander displayed a controlled hybrid delivery, with a high leg lift and a short ¾ arm action. Murray was able to induce weak contact with his three-pitch mix, consistently missing barrels with each pitch. His fastball was 81-84 mph and held velocity into the seventh inning. He also utilized a sharp lateral breaking slider at 69-71 mph, and a fading changeup at 74-76 mph. Final Line: W, 6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 3 K. The right-hander continues to make an impact for the Redbirds on the mound.

Murray turned in a gutsy performance on Friday afternoon. The right-hander is an athletic mover at 5-foot-10, 165-pounds, and continually pounded the zone (63% strikes) and got ahead of batters, inducing a lot of ground ball contact. He pitched out of trouble a few times, working with a low 80’s fastball (T83) that played with some sinking action at times. Murray also went to two different breaking balls; a slider that had short lateral break to it, and a curveball that played with 11/5 shape.

5-foot-9, 155-pounds. Started for the St. Louis Redbirds on Sunday morning. Hybrid start, quick compact arm circle, high ¾ finish. Simple strider, weight carries out front. Fastball played at 80-83 mph. Some feel to spin his breaking ball around the zone, 70-72 mph.
