As Return Rule 5 Pick Noah Murdock To Royals

The As returned Rule 5 draftee  to the Royals, as first reflected on the MLB.com . Kansas City a signed him to Triple-A Omaha. Murdock does not occupy a spot on their 40-man roster.  This was the likeliest outcome after the As designated Murdock for a signment last Friday. Any team that traded for him or claimed him off waivers would have taken on the same Rule 5 restrictions. They would have needed to carry him in the big league bullpen. Murdock evidently went unclaimed and heads back to the team that drafted him in the seventh round in 2019.  Murdock, 26, divided Dillon Peters Jersey  his 2024 season between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Omaha. He worked to a 2.22 earned run average over 24 1/3 innings at the former level. Murdock posted a 3.76 ERA through 38 1/3 frames in Triple-A. He combined for a 27% strikeout rate and a huge 59.7% ground-ball percentage, though that came with an alarming 15.4% walk rate.  The 68 righty broke camp with the As after being selected with the fifth pick in last winters Rule 5 draft. His first 14 big league appearances did not go well, as he was blitzed for 25 runs acro s 17 1/3 innings. The free pa ses remained far too problematic. Murdock walked 20 batters and hit two more among the 98 he faced. The grounder rates that have been his calling card in the minors werent there against big league competition. Murdock posted a 42.6% ground-ball percentage and a 21.4% strikeout rate  both decent numbers but not nearly enough to offset the free pa ses.  Endy Rodriguez Jersey
