I got this autograph while Sean Murphy was playing with the low-minors back in 2016.
- He was the A’s 3rd round pick in 2016, out of Wright State.
Over the last couple of seasons, he has gone on to become one of the best catching prospects in the minors.
- Fangraphs has him rated the Athletics #2 prospect in 2019
- Baseball America has him at #3
This season–before he was injured–he was hitting .324/.402/.459 in AAA. He is clearly the organizations future behind the plate, and I expect he will see the majors in 2020.
