Is Owen Murphy the Next Braves Pitching Prospect to Debut?
Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Owen Murphy began the regular season at the Double-A level but has recently been moved to Triple-A and is emerging as a potential stash candidate. With Double-A, Murphy did not enjoy the best success, posting a hefty 6.10 ERA with a 27:18 K:BB across 20 2/3 innings of work. However, the Braves believed he was ready to join Gwinnett, and he has done more than hold his own. After going through some gradual growing pains to begin his Triple-A career, Murphy has looked quite comfortable in each of his last two games. During this two-game stretch, Murphy has logged six innings in each start and struck out 16 hitters while allowing just three earned runs. With Atlanta lacking much depth on their MLB roster, Murphy may be the next man called in the coming weeks. He will need to show this success over a longer period, but the No. 5-ranked prospect in the system is now firmly on the stash radar among top pitching prospects.
