Max Aston Durrington was born on 13 February 2007 in Tweed Heads, Australia, in the Gold Coast–Tweed Heads region. He is the son of former Australian professional baseball player Trent Durrington, who played in Major League Baseball and other professional leagues. Max bats left-handed and throws right-handed, and has been listed at 5 feet 9 inches and 165 pounds. Although the supplied provider data identifies him as an outfielder, official and statistical listings describe him more broadly as a utility player, second baseman and outfielder, with appearances in centre field and left field.
Durrington developed through Australian baseball and broke into senior-level competition with the Brisbane Bandits in the Australian Baseball League during the 2024–25 season. He then signed with the Oakland Athletics as an international free agent on 13 July 2024 and began his North American professional career with the Athletics' Arizona Complex League affiliate. In 2025, he progressed to the Stockton Ports of the California League, completing his first season in the Athletics organisation across rookie-level and Single-A competition.
His 2025 minor-league season produced a .238 batting average, .329 on-base percentage, .295 slugging percentage, two home runs, 30 runs batted in and 12 stolen bases across 89 games. He also returned to Brisbane for the 2025–26 Australian Baseball League season, recording a .214 average, three home runs, 15 RBIs and seven stolen bases in 35 games. In 2026, he was listed by Australia for his first World Baseball Classic and appeared in one game, recording one run and no official at-bats. The tournament roster listed him as a utility player and the Australian game notes listed him as an outfielder.
Durrington returned to Stockton in 2026. MLB transaction records show that he was placed on the seven-day injured list on 5 May 2026 and activated on 18 May 2026. His most recently published 2026 Stockton line covered 65 games and included a .252 average, .346 on-base percentage, .335 slugging percentage, two home runs, 29 RBIs and 17 stolen bases. As of 18 August 2026, no verified source reviewed for this profile recorded a Major League debut, a current MLB roster placement, a publicly disclosed contract value or a detailed account of the injury that led to his 2026 injured-list placement.
The clearest documented breakthrough was Durrington's signing with the Oakland Athletics on 13 July 2024, followed by his assignment to the Athletics' Arizona Complex League affiliate. He subsequently reached Single-A Stockton during the 2025 season. A more specific discovery story or scouting account was not located in the reviewed sources.
Through the latest published Baseball-Reference register data, Durrington had 154 minor-league games, 628 plate appearances, 132 hits, 27 doubles, eight triples, seven home runs, 84 RBIs and 29 stolen bases, with a .237 batting average, .327 on-base percentage and .651 OPS across all listed levels. His 2026 Stockton line was .252/.346/.335 with two home runs, 29 RBIs and 17 stolen bases in 65 games. No verified professional championship, individual award or record was identified.
Representing Australia at the 2026 World Baseball Classic was a defining milestone and his first appearance in the tournament. He was included on Australia's roster as a utility player/outfielder while affiliated with the Athletics and Stockton Ports.
