Brian Murphy (born September 22, 1980) is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the William & Mary Tribe baseball team. He was named to that position prior to the 2014 season.[1][2][3][4]
Murphy was a catcher at Merrimack in North Andover, Massachusetts, where he served as captain in his senior season. He began his coaching career at Division III member Wheaton. He worked with the Lyons' catchers and served as hitting coach in his two seasons before moving to Bryant to work under Jamie Pinzino. Bryant was a member of Division II for his entire tenure with the Bulldogs, although the school began the reclassification process to Division I in his fourth and final season. Murphy served as recruiting coordinator and hitting coach, and worked with catchers and outfielders while at Bryant. He next moved to nearby Brown, where he served three seasons and again served as recruiting coordinator and hitting coach. In his time in Providence, Murphy worked with ten All-Ivy League honorees. In 2013, Murphy moved to William & Mary, where he served as the top assistant and hitting coach. After head coach Jamie Pinzino departed for Oklahoma, Murphy was elevated to his first head coaching position.[1]
