both of Hurd’s fastballs average close to 2500RPMs, peaking at over 2800RPMs. For context, that would put him inside the 86th percentile of big league pitchers. All this, as a 17-year-old who’s truly been pitching for but nine months of his life.


quote:

In 2020, Hurd would have ranked second in MLB in average spin rate on the slider, trailing only Kyle Crick’s 3130RPM figure. According to Baseball Savant, there were 40,001 sliders thrown this season. Only 92 of those exceeded 3335RPMs. Thus, Hurd’s best slider this Summer would rank in the 99.8th percentile. Incredible.


Hot damn.

He is a very impressive young man. Proud he’s a Tiger and representing LSU.

Donating a portion or helping to raise money using your platform is awesome. Donating 100% is next level.
