Jason Hursh’s journey to elite draft prospect status has been far from a simple one. He’s a commodity that’s been well known for quite some time now, but he’s had to overcome some obstacles to reach this point over the last three years. While he may not be the finished product that pitchers at the top of the class like Mark Appel are, he does boast some of the best raw stuff in the draft. And, to his credit, he’s regained that power arsenal after spending over a year on the shelf following Tommy John surgery in 2011.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
