Pitching prospects who miss a calendar year worth of baseball can often be forgotten or surpassed by other organizational arms during their absence. For Atlanta Braves sixth ranked prospect, Owen Murphy, this certainly feels true.
Since Murphy underwent Tommy John Surgery in late May of 2024, pitching prospects like Didier Fuentes, Cam Caminiti, and others have stepped into the spotlight. Thankfully, since Murphy's return from injury a short time ago he seems determined to remind fans why he is one of the most exciting arms in the Braves system.
