Career

Hursh attended Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, Texas. After graduating, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected Hursh in the sixth round of the 2010 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft.

As a junior, Hursh pitched to a 6-5 win–loss record with a 2.79 earned run average (ERA) in 16 games started. He was named to the All-Big 12 Conference second team.[2]

The Atlanta Braves selected Hursh with the 31st overall selection in the 2013 MLB Draft.[2] Hursh signed with the Braves, receiving a $1.7 million signing bonus, and was assigned to the Rome Braves of the Class A South Atlantic League.[3] With Rome, Hursh had a 0.67 ERA.[4] Hursh began the 2014 season with the Mississippi Braves of the Class AA Southern League.[5] Hursh spent the entire season there, making 26 starts and one relief appearance, with a 3.58 ERA. Hursh spent most of the 2015 season with Mississippi, appearing in 25 games. He made 15 starts and ten relief appearances with a 5.14 ERA, before being promoted to the Triple A Gwinnett Braves.
