Atlanta Braves 2022 Minor League Player Review: Owen Murphy

Owen Murphy was a first-round draft pick for the Atlanta Braves this season.

Owen Murphy was drafted by the Atlanta Braves with the 20th overall pick of the 2022 MLB amateur draft. He is the first prep player taken in the 1st round since Carter Stewart in 2018.

Owen Murphy was signed by the Atlanta Braves in 2022. He made two rookie level starts and impressed at Augusta. Murphy has a good fastball and a solid curveball. He also has some promise with his slider. The player review is available on Baseball Prospectus.

Owen Murphy is a premium athlete with a three-pitch mix and plus curveball. He will probably start next year in Low-A Augusta. His command needs to improve, but his athleticism and a clean delivery give him better odds of doing so than other young prospects.
