Katherine Murphy’s Dream Realized in Inaugural Women’s Pro Baseball League Season
Katherine Murphy, a recent Belmont High School graduate, was drafted by the New York Heights and called up for a last‑minute outfielder role ahead of the Women’s Pro Baseball League’s inaugural games. The league’s first season at Robin Roberts Stadium drew over 5,000 fans, provided housing for players, and offered Murphy a paid opportunity while she balances a business degree at the University of Maryland. Meanwhile, teammate Katie Reynolds, also a Belmont alum, was drafted but not signed, focusing on pitching development as the league prepares for its next chapter.
