Sean Murphy’s bat speed has plummeted this season, raising alarms as the power-hitting star struggles with a dismal on-base percentage and minimal hard contact. In just 42 plate appearances, he’s swinging at more pitches outside the zone while missing strikes — and only one ball has left the park hard in his last 11 put-in-play. Injury whispers and possible intentional adjustments may be to blame, but the real concern? It’s not just timing — it’s physical form or mental hesitation, even on hittable pitches. His lack of aggression in high-leverage moments adds another layer of worry. This isn’t just a slump — it’s a troubling shift that could define his season.
