The Next Season Podcast

Coach Murph is changing the game—literally.

Chris “Coach Murph” Murphy went from youth ballplayer to landing a front office job with the Red Sox. When he realized there was something missing, he went all-in and has become one of the premier online coaches, including the personal hitting coach to MLB LEGEND MANNY RAMIREZ & MLB draft prospects. In this episode, we unpack his journey, his coaching philosophy and how he builds real confidence in hitters of all ages.

You’ll hear:

• Why talent without structure won’t cut it
• The secret power of video feedback (and how it trains the brain)
• The truth about slumps, self-doubt and hitting mechanics
• Why even Manny has a hitting coach—and how Coach Murph earned his trust
• What parents need to know about in-season skill development

This episode is packed with pure gold for players 10–20, parents and coaches alike.
