LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 National Showcase
Kai Murphy is a 2019 LHP/OF with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Mesa, AZ who attends Red Mountain HS. Medium athletic build. Hand drop delivery with a big cross body landing out front, will vary the pace of his delivery and do anything to create deception. Mid-80's fastball, fastball is mostly straight with occasional late diving action, thrown to spots low in the zone. Works off his secondary pitches and his command. Very good arm speed on his change up, changes speeds on his change up. Does the same thing with his curveball manipulating the shape and velocity. Messes with hitters timing and everything is a strike, 3 balls in two innings and one was a strike the catcher dropped. Pitches like a 40ish Jaime Moyer. Fun to watch pitch. Son of former Arizona State coach and present Brewers bench coach Pat Murphy. Good student, verbal commitment to Oregon State.
