My name is Parker Murphy, and baseball is my passion. I have been playing for as long as I can remember. I am a member of the class of 2030 at Marist, a rising 9th grader. I started my career playing baseball at Murphey Candler Baseball. I was a Gold Sox at MCB AA-Majors. My last year at MCB, I was 2nd in the regular season for the most home runs, and I won the Sportsman of the Year award.
Summer of 2024 I got the privilege of going to Cooperstown Dreams Park with my Team the Brookhaven Hammers. This was one of the greatest experiences in my baseball career.
After MCB, I continued my baseball career with the Diablos 13u, Marist War Hawks 7th grade, Marist MS Team and I now play with Atlanta Lightning 14u.
While I still have a lot to learn about this great game, I know I already have alot that I can pass on and help the next generation.
Philosophy
Let's be honest! The backyard is where all ball players first played the game and fell in love with it. Playing catch with your parents or grandparents and throwing the ball with your siblings is where your baseball journey likely began. I know the backyard is where I fell in love with the game. The backyard is also where you go to improve. The safe place that a player can go to work on their swing with just a bat, a ball, and their thoughts. My backyard is a great place with no pressure, just fun drills to become a better baseball player. Equipped with a 50', turf-lined cage, where learning is relaxed and enjoyable.
I believe building confidence is just as important as developing strong mechanics. I create a positive, supportive environment where players are encouraged to swing hard, make mistakes, and learn from them without fear of judgment. Mental toughness grows when young athletes learn to embrace challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and celebrate small daily improvements. My goal is to help every player develop not only better baseball skills, but also the resilience, self-belief, and lifelong love for the game that will serve them on and off the field.
