James Murphy is a 2022 SS/RHP, OF with a 5-6 145 lb. frame from Palos Heights, IL who attends Marist. Medium frame with a young, lean build. Ran a 7.35 second sixty yard dash. Primary Shortstop, bouncing around as he moved the baseball with smooth actions. Gathers out front and is confident with the glove before working into transfers. Quick release and was accurate with throws as he threw it 74 mph during drills. Secondary Right-Handed Pitcher, working with a side step to a higher leg lift in the windup. Stays under control throughout the motion as he delivered direct to the dish. Released from a higher slot as he filled up the zone early in counts with the fastball. Topped out at 74 mph. Also mixed in a breaking ball with 12-to-6 movements. Right-Handed Hitter, starting from a wider base as he works into a big leg lift to stride. Transfers weight all at once as he stays linear through the swing path. Looks to drive it back up the middle as he puts a premium on contact over power. Proved he could match plane and found the barrel. Outstanding Student.
