NE Insider: The Recruiting Angle with Sean Murray
This time of year seems to be a very nerve racking time for unsigned seniors and underclassmen looking to get on coaches radar. No need to panic, it's early in the spring and once it warms up, the coaches will be out to see your game. Relaxing and enjoying the spring season is important, so keep in mind, control the controllable things and work on your game.
The recruiting process happens earlier and earlier every year for the high profile player. Hard to imagine a high school sophomore making a college choice when you really think about it. I remember when I was a sophomore in HS, last thing on my mind was where I was going to go to college. Strange as I write this, not too long ago, I was deciding what to offer high school sophomores. It's a difficult process but exciting and agonizing at the same time.
The following weekly article will be a feature on a player who has yet to break onto the scene, but certainly has the ability to play and/or pitch at the college level.
Today we are going to take a look at Sean Murphy, a 2016 outfielder from Westfield, Massachusetts.
Scouting Report
Projects very well for me and should be able to fill out physically as he mature. Went through the workout with very little tension, as it looks like he loves to play.
