Jason Hursh

The numbers from Hursh's first full season in the minors were by no means spectacular (3.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP), but the right-hander held his own as a 22-year-old at the Double-A level. Groundballs are Hursh's calling card, a product of his mid-90s, heavy-sinking fastball, but left-handed hitters were able to get the ball up in the air a lot more frequently against Hursh in 2014 (0.95 GO/AO). It wasn't much of an issue, as lefties hit just .253 against him, nearly 30 points below his mark against right-handers (.282), but it's something to keep an eye on at the upper levels. Hursh also succeeds in pounding the strike zone (2.6 BB/9), and while he's yet to flash much strikeout upside, he's only behind a few arms on the Braves' organizational ladder.
