Oneonta's Murphy Named to Golden Spikes Award Watch List![]() Murphy was an all-star catcher on the very first Oneonta Outlaws squad in 2010. The University at Buffalo backstop batted .287 over 34 games with three home runs and 19 RBI. He cracked 35 hits, scored 23 runs and drilled 10 doubles which tied for a team high. Murphy smashed a first-inning home run in the 2010 All-Star Game and he was later selected as the All-Star Game Offensive Most Valuable Player. The Outlaws went 26-16 in their first season in Oneonta and finished second in their division behind eventual league champion Amsterdam. The West Monroe, N.Y., native was the 2011 Mid-American Conference’s Player of the Year as a sophomore. Murphy won the MAC batting championship with a .384 batting average. He belted 10 home runs, drove in 44 and amassed a .626 slugging percentage. The sophomore reached base safely in all but four games and he topped the Bulls with 22 multi-hit games. Murphy also set a school single-game record with three clouts in a single contest against North Carolina Central. Last summer, Murphy played for the New England Collegiate Baseball League’s Holyoke Blue Sox. He clobbered nine home runs in 35 games and compiled a .291 batting average. He was an NECBL all-star and was tabbed as the top professional prospect in the NECBL by Baseball America. Murphy added to his resume with a four-game stint for Team USA’s summer national collegiate team.
