Owen Murphy made his return to live action with a start with the FCL Braves in the complex league. The Atlanta Braves No. 5 prospect pitched three perfect innings while striking out five. Three of those punch outs came when he struck out the side in the first inning.
No stats are available on MLB Gameday for his pitch count or what rate he threw his pitches for strikes. However, according to Baseball Prospectus' Gaurav, Murphy generated 10 whiffs using a combination of his fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. The velocity on his fastball sat between 90 and 94 miles per hour, which, according to Gaurav, is about where it was last season before the injury.
