Max Murray is emerging as a high-leverage bullpen weapon for UCF
In the 2026 season, Murray has been one of UCF’s most dependable freshmen, earning All-Big 12 Freshman Team honors while posting a 3.94 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 29.2 innings and tying for the team lead with five wins. He brings real late-inning poise, a strike-throwing profile, and enough swing-and-miss to matter in leverage spots; multiple reports also note he’s already handled pressure well, including shutout relief and a win in a 13-inning thriller. If you want a competitive, battle-tested righty with upside and no fear of the moment, he’s a fit.
