Who knew Columbia, Mo. would become such a popular destination for ex-Wildcats.
Former Arizona right-handed pitcher Chandler Murphy announced on Instagram Friday that he was transferring to Missouri for the 2023 season, joining fellow ex-UA reliever Javyn Pimental.
Murphy spent three seasons at Arizona, with the first two going much better than the third. He was 9-0 in 2020-21, including 7-0 in 2021, but a forearm injury caused him to miss last fall and delay his debut in the spring.
When he returned to action he wasn’t the same, going 1-2 with a 9.
