Meet Christian: Christian is in the graduating class of 2025 and attends Woodcreek High School, located in Roseville, CA. His primary position is catcher with secondary position of third base and is a switch hitter. In addition to playing for Woodcreek High Schools baseball program, he also plays for NorCal with Coach Robert Bruno.
Christian shares his favorite baseball memory: "One of my favorite memories as a baseball player was getting the opportunity to play in the NTIS Championship Series under USA Baseball last year in Cary, NC. My family got to travel across the country to experience some amazing baseball. Not only was the experience of playing great, but what stuck with me the most was traveling, meeting players and coaches from all over the country and building great friendships. I still stay in contact with some of the coaches and players, and truly appreciated everything that experience offered me. I’m looking forward to this combine and hoping to be able to build the same types of relationships and continue to grow as a player and individual through the coaches and players that I'm blessed to play alongside with."
Christian also shares what attending the NBFSS Underclass Combine means to him: "Attending the Future Stars Series Underclass Combine is a great opportunity for me. It shows that all of the hard work and dedication that I have been investing into baseball and myself is taking me down all the roads I hoped for as a younger player. All that hard work has not only been for my love of the game, but to continue playing a game that my Nana has loved seeing me play and has motivated me to work harder and continue to persist as she did through her battle and ultimately, overcoming breast cancer. This opportunity allows me to show her I’m still working on my dreams, and playing a game I love even if she can’t attend anymore due to health reasons. This is one of the many opportunities that I hope to continue to be a part of and look forward to the additional growth and relationships that I will make through this event.
The New Balance Future Stars Series is not just about discovering and developing the MLB Heros of tomorrow. It’s about discovering and developing the leaders of tomorrow by creating real opportunities where they don’t exist today: opportunities for education, opportunities to give back to their community… opportunities for a future. We are incredibly grateful that Christian Murphy is a part of this chapter in our mission to CHANGE THE GAME!
Up to 20% of all net proceeds will be donated to Future Stars Series Foundation and No Kid Hungry.
