Timeline
Robert Albert Murphy (born May 26, 1960) is a former professional American baseball player who was a relief pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1985 to 1995.
That same season, his hits per nine inning ratio (4.65/9ip), had bested the previous National League records posted in 1972 and 1916.
He attended Christopher Columbus High School in Miami from 1974 to 1978.
Murphy's American Legion team Post 133, won its District Championship in 1976 with Murphy's 11 strikeout performance.
For the CCHS Explorers' football team, Murphy was named to the 1976 All Catholic team, and 3rd team All County Team.
He pitched for the varsity baseball team in 1977 and 1978.
The 1977 team won the District championship with his 4-hit shutout.
He garnered many awards, including pre-season 1st team All American, 1st team All City, and 1st team All Catholic.
In 1977, he was first-team All-Catholic, and second-team All-Dade County.
By the time Murphy put away his kicking tee, he was Columbus High's All-time leading scorer on the gridiron.
Murphy was the first baseball player inducted into CCHS Baseball Diamond Hall of Fame, along with Louisiana State baseball coach Paul Mainieri, and former Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry.
Murphy played college baseball for the University of Florida, and was picked by the Cincinnati Reds in the first round (3rd pick) of the 1981 amateur draft (January Secondary).
In addition to the Cincinnati Reds, he played for the Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Florida Marlins.
Murphy was born in Miami, Florida.
Cincinnati Reds Minor League System 1981 - 1985
1981 - Collected 6 wins for the Florida State League Northern Division champions, Tampa Tarpons.
1983 - Led Cedar Rapids Reds in strikeouts on the way to being Central Division champs.
1984 - Led the Eastern League in saves and captured the win in the championship game for the Eastern League title.
Murphy was named Vermont Reds' Fireman of the Year.
1985 - Led the Denver Zephyrs in ERA on their way to the Western Division title of the American Association.
A hard fastball thrower with a sharp slider, Murphy had an disappointing debut by giving up a 400-foot home run to the first Major League hitter he faced, Mike Marshall.
However, Murphy returned in his next outing with two shutout innings that suggested better things lie ahead.
In 1986, Rob brought all of his potential to the mound in what was an amazing season.
His final ERA in 1986 was 0.72.
In the history of Major League baseball, no pitcher who had pitched 50 innings or more had an ERA lower than Murphy’s.
His ERA record still stands in the National League, and has only been lowered by the great Dennis Eckersley, Fernando Rodney and Zach Britton in the American League.
In that memorable 1986 season, Murphy only gave up four doubles, and no triples or home runs.
That stingy season led to a Slugging Percentage of .179.
That figure crushed the almost 20-year-old record of Ted Abernathy.
When Rob retired in 1995, that hits per inning ratio still stood atop the NL record book.
In 2009, Murphy was inducted into CCHS General Hall of Fame.
Instead of pursuing professional baseball, Murphy accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for the Gators and advanced his computer science knowledge.
As a freshman, Murphy led the Gators in ERA (2.53), and was named the Rookie of the Year.
During his sophomore year, Murphy's 3-hit shutout over Tennessee secured the Gators' second consecutive SEC Eastern Division title, while also becoming the first Gator baseball team to win 40 regular season games.
His career record was 6-3 while pitching in orange and blue.
After his days in Gainesville, Murphy was drafted by Cincinnati Reds in the 1st round, as the third overall draft pick.
He was only the 2nd Gator ever selected in the 1st round of the Major League draft.
After setting school records for most wins (17) and strikeouts (207), he was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 29th round in the now discontinued January draft.
Murphy earned many accolades playing on the football field.
