Above the class band in every fastball column at 16y7m: sat 88.9–92.6 T93.5 off real spin (2328 avg) with 15.7" of ride from 6.8' of extension — eff velo averaged 91.2. And then there's the splitter: 648 rpm, the lowest-spin pitch we've charted in this class — Clayton Moore's 916-rpm split was our previous benchmark and Murphy beats it by 270.
The rankings say #260. The TrackMan says top-50.
PG: 92 in-game (7/6/26), 99.8th %ile FB, +17 mph since 6/2023, 20 events, no grade yet · PBR slid him #129 → #260 over the summer

A ranking that DROPS 131 spots the same summer a kid sits 89–92 at LakePoint with the class's best kill-spin pitch is a clerical artifact, not an evaluation. PG hasn't graded him and has him #447 with a 99.8th-percentile fastball on their own gun. This is the same market inefficiency we bought on Rojas and Dungan — except bigger, younger, and harder-throwing.

+3.0 on the max in ten months with extension stretching — and the splitter spin dropped from 691 (PA States) to 648 (FG), meaning the feel for killing spin is improving. PG's arc: +17 mph since June 2023. The 6'5" frame at 210 still projects a full grade of velocity.
