The 13th chapter of the 2022 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List is in the books, and it features one of the brightest spots of the San Francisco Giants 2021 Minor League season: right-handed pitcher Ryan Murphy.
Murphy comfortably won the vote to be named the No. 13 prospect n the system, and it’s his first appearance on the CPL. Last year’s CPL was Murphy’s first since the Giants drafted him in 2020, but he wasn’t at all considered for the 44-player list. A fifth-round pick out of Division II Le Moyne college, many saw Murphy as an underslot selection in the final round of the truncated draft.
