Kyler Murray

Murray is not the best prospect from the 2018 draft, but is certainly the most famous, and in the end, may not even choose to play pro baseball. The dual-threat quarterback won the Heisman Trophy following an electric junior season for Oklahoma, which came after he was selected by the A's with the No. 9 overall pick in June. He slashed .296/.398/.556 with 10 home runs, 10 steals (on 14 attempts) and a 56:28 K:BB in 189 at-bats in 2018. Those numbers are particularly impressive considering all the at-bats he has missed out on due to his football career. His strikeout total aligns with scouting reports that suggest there would be some swing-and-miss issues against pro pitching, at least initially. He has impact speed on the bases and in center field and could develop 20-homer power. An early-January report suggesting Murray will enter the NFL draft should force dynasty-league managers to move him way down or completely off their boards.
