As expected, Bradenton's J.R. Murphy has begun the baseball season with the Charleston RiverDogs, the low Single-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.
Murphy, who graduated from The Pendleton School, spent all of last season with the RiverDogs. The next step could be a promotion to high Single-A Tampa, which competes in the Florida State League with the Bradenton Marauders.
Murphy is batting .207 in seven games this season, but has hit three home runs and driven in seven runs, upping his slugging percentage to .552.
The Yankees picked Murphy during the second round of the 2009 draft. A catcher in high school, Murphy has also logged time as a designated hitter and third baseman this season.
