University of Oklahoma ace Jonathan Gray is currently the focus of most
pre-draft attention in the Oklahoma college ranks this spring. However, over
at Stillwater, Oklahoma State University has an intriguing right-hander of
their own in Jason Hursh. Hursh was generating early-round buzz with strong
pitching early in the season, and I had an opportunity to see him in action
against the Kansas Jayhawks here in Lawrence last Friday.
It wasn't a good game for him: he got knocked out in the fourth inning,
giving up 10 hits, seven runs, and four walks. Nevertheless, the talent that
interests pro scouts was quite evident. Despite the hiccup against the
Jayhawks, Hursh has been effective more often than not this spring, with a
2.63 ERA and a 42/11 K/BB in 54 innings with 50 hits allowed. The game
against KU was the first time all season he didn't pitch at least six innings.
Hursh is a well-built, well-proportioned right-hander with a loose, athletic
frame, listed at 6-1, 197, though he looks an inch or so taller than that on
the mound. He has been clocked as high as 98 MPH in summer ball, but Friday
night he worked at 92-95 MPH, though with far more 94-95 readings than 92s.
His fastball has unusually good action low in the strike zone, often tailing
away from right-handed hitters and inside on lefties, though he'll try to
work the outside corner against dangerous lefties at times. The fastball is
seldom straight but he located it well early in the game.
The problem for Hursh: his secondary pitches. His change-up had tailing
action like the fastball, though (of course) at lower, change-up velocity.
His slider had some moments early but was inconsistent, I'd say ranging from
major league average to below average. He threw a slower curveball while
warming up but didn't use it much in the game.
His delivery is low-effort and is cleaner than what you see in the video from
2011. He is a Tommy John survivor, and has reportedly made a strong effort to
improve his mechanics. In the first two innings, he repeated his delivery
very well from pitch to pitch, but when he warmed up in the third inning he
started to lose that consistency. By the fourth inning, he was telegraphing
his pitches and the KU hitters weren't fooled. This was my impression from
behind home plate anyway; it would be interesting to break that down with
video from Friday's game and see if that impression was accurate.
In any event, Hursh has many positive attributes that will interest a major
league team on draft day. He has a live body, a live arm, and a very
impressive fastball with big-league movement and velocity. His secondary
pitches are erratic, but promising. While he needs to get more consistent,
his basic mechanics are essentially sound. With proper development, Hursh
could be a highly-impressive reliever at least, and possibly a mid-rotation
starter if his secondary pitches max out.
I can see him going as high as the third round, maybe even earlier if he
looks strong in May.
