Pitcher Tyler Murphy has defied all odds after he was involved in a boating accident that left him with severe nerve, muscle, and tendon damage to his right hand and right leg last August.

It is nothing short of a miracle that 19-year-old Tyler Murphy is currently playing for California State University, Stanislaus Warriors baseball team. “I’m beyond grateful and just blessed to have another opportunity to play collegiate baseball after everything that has happened,” said Murphy. Last August, Murphy was severely injured at Lake Tulloch when he was involved in a tragic boating accident just weeks before leaving for college.
