Left-handed arms that can spin the baseball are at a premium, which is why I am so bullish on Creighton recruit Ryan Murphy. A showcase doesn't do the 6-foot, 170 pounder justice - aside from the innate ability to spin the baseball, his best trait is his ability to keep hitters off balance with solid command present. His fastball plays into the mid-80s with solid extension & ride/run properties. He can manipulate spin - showing two distinct breaking balls. His 68-70 mph curveball is his best pitching currently, spinning in the 2600s with big two-plane shape and feel to land. The mid-70s slider plays with sharp sweep and he can get it to the back-foot of RHHs. Murphy rounds out a starters' mix with prisine feel to sell a 76-77 change.
