Atlanta Braves: Jason Hursh 3-Start Review

Jason Hursh was the Braves first round pick of the 2013 draft, 31st overall out of Oklahoma State University. He had a reputation as a hard throwing guy with a tremendous sinker who would have gone top 10 like his college teammate Andrew Heaney had the year before to the Marlins. Then he underwent Tommy John surgery after his freshman year of college, causing him to miss his entire 2012 sophomore season. He returned to the hill and was sitting in the low-90s and touching as high as 97 in his junior year of college.
