Chandler Murphy
RHP Missouri
2-22-23 - Opening Weekend -
Chandler Murphy, RHP, Missouri– Don’t let his boxscore statline of 2.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 3 BB, 4 SO discolor his bright Opening Day performance, at least in my eyes. Of those five hits, three were infield choppers and a fourth was a medium hit grounder up the middle to the second base side that should have been handled for an out. Victimized by some poor fortune, Murphy worked with a smooth, starter-like, repeatable delivery. The loose-armed 6-foot-3 right-hander sat 92-94 mph with his four-seamer, working it up in the zone, while sinking his two-seamers below the knees. He also mixed a sharp, 83-87 mph high-spin (2700-2850 rpm) slider. It was a short, tight and a flincher at times. The pro-grade plus pitch even drew some swordfight swings from the Cowboys. His even higher-spin curveball (2900+) buzzed to the plate at 78-82 mph and graded as an average pitch. His fourth offering, a straight changeup, arrived at a firm 86-87. It was a below average pitch on this look and similar to the one that I saw upon my visit to Columbia last fall. On this look, Murphy showed better stuff and projected to a higher round than his more highly touted mound opponent, Watts-Brown. And just like in the case of JW-B, the scouting season is based upon more than one start. Both will have ample opportunity to determine their final draft value.
