BJ Murray Jr. is Growing Fast:
I am not surprised at how fast BJ Murray Jr. has grown in the game of baseball and his level of play in Minor League Baseball.
Signed by the Cubs on July 24th, 2021, after He was drafted in round 15th, of the 2021 MLB Draft, out of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. On August 9th, 2021, B.J. was assigned to the A.C.L. Cubs.
The Upwards Moving of B.J.:
Meanwhile, in 2021 he was assigned to Rookie A.C.L. Cubs, where he finished his first Minor League season with a .286 batting average.
Similarly, B.J. was assigned to Myrtle Beach Pelicans—the Cubs single-A team, on April 8th, 2022. Likewise, with a .305 batting average, He was promoted to Advance-A South Bend Cubs on June 14th, 2022, and went on to a .273 average. So B.J. finished his 2022 season with a .280 batting average.
To the Arizona Fall League:
Additionally, on September 18th, 2022, 3B BJ Murray Jr. was assigned to Arizona Fall League, Mesa Solar Sox. Moreover, what an accomplishment for a second-year minor leaguer. So many baseball players look forward to playing in a Fall League, and playing the A.F.L. is a dream come true.
While the Fall League experience was exciting for Murray Jr., more baseball would still be played for B.J. before the 2023 season.
