Coach Brian Murtha

Baseball

Brian was drafted out of college at Shippensburg University by the San Francisco Giants organization where he pitched for 4+ years to the AA level. After his playing career, Brian began teaching his sons the game and met former MLB player, and guest instructor Denny Doyle at a yearly church baseball camp. Denny hired Brian immediately. Brian then spent the next 10 years as a Level 1 instructor and Regional Director for Doyle Academy where he traveled the east coast and Canada putting on instructional schools for often 25-100+ players and coaches. His favorite time of year was when he would spend up to 3 consecutive weeks each July at the Detroit Tigers spring training complex in Lakeland, FL at Doyle Academy, providing 8-12 hrs a day of “Baseball Bootcamp” often with 100+ elite players ages 12-18 from all over the USA, Canada, and beyond teaching them how to play both the game of life and baseball the right way.

Brian also spent several years as the assistant National Director and pitching coordinator for US Elite travel baseball where a large percentage of players received D1 scholarships.

“It was exciting to watch and develop those types of player’s, along with helping the families through the recruiting process”, says Murtha. But his favorite aspect of the game at this point in his life is to develop the younger player’s along with their parents and coaches on the details of the game that will put them in the best position to succeed at each level, all the while developing them for the next.

“Throughout my instructional career I have always sought to surround myself with smarter and more knowledgeable instructors and coaches than myself in order to provide the best information & experience for the players and their family’s. There is an abundance of teaching available today, and being able to sift through it all and provide the truth for each individual is the difference maker”.

“It is my blessed honor to have the opportunity to share what I have learned over my career. I look forward to working with the ownership, staff, coaches, players, and their family’s at SWSA”. Together we can do some great things for the community.

Brian has just recently retired from Hiester Automotive and he and his wife Nancy use much of their time with their youngest son Corey and his wife Maggie with their 2 young granddaughter’s along with working out at Corey’s new gym in Fuquay. Additionally they travel to Tampa to visit their eldest son Brian, his wife Ally and their dogs.
