Biographical Information

David Phrathep has been on the Laotian national team. He is the brother of Davy Phrathep.

David was a walk-on at UCF and became the first known Laotian American to play in NCAA Division I. He was 2 for 5 as a freshman in 2016, sat out 2017 to focus on his premed studies and went 0 for 7 as a junior. He then went to osteopathic college. He was inducted into the Laos American Sports Hall of Fame. He played two games for Laos in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games, when his brother Davy was a teammate. He replaced Nee Va Va at catcher late in their win over Malaysia, forming a brother battery; he did not bat. Starting on the hill against a much stronger Philippines national team, he went 4 1/3 IP and allowed 5 hits, 2 walks and 7 runs (6 earned) while striking out two (Nigel Paule and Joven Maulit); Mung Chuevakham took over while Phrathep moved to right field. He had two of their three hits that day.
