photo    Appears to be on track to reaching his potential after a bumpy sophomore year ... Pitched extremely well during fall practice ... Showed the ability to throw three different pitches for strikes ... Combines excellent size with a good arm ... Was listed as one of the Top 5 newcomers in the BIG EAST Conference by Baseball America prior to his freshman season ... Picked up some valuable experience during his first season ... Showed flashes of his ability, but was inconsistent ... Only appeared in two games last year after failing to gain command of his pitches ... Returned with renewed confidence in the fall and put himself in contention for playing time ... Could earn a spot in the starting rotation if he carries the same determination into preseason workouts ...

2003-04: Was limited to two appearances after experiencing control problems ... Saw his only action at Richmond and Georgetown ... Pitched a combined total of one inning, allowing two hits and four runs ...

2002-03: Started seven games and pitched in nine during his freshman season ... Suffered a loss in his first outing at Campbell and did not get a decision against Kent State in his second start ... Worked five full innings against Cornell allowing three hits and two runs to earn his first collegiate win ... Picked up another win with seven innings against Virginia ... Gave up just four hits and struck out five batters during that outing ... Wasn't as fortunate in his second start against UVa, lasting three innings and taking a loss ... Finished the season with a 2-3 record and 7.80 earned run average ... Pitched a total of 30 innings ... Only pitched one-third of an inning in BIG EAST action ... That came in relief at Pittsburgh ...

High School: Was named Hoggard High's MVP and the conference player of the year after registering an 11-1 pitching mark in 2002 ... Carried a 0.46 earned run average and struck out 101 batters in 76.1 innings ... Earned all-state honors and played in the North Carolina-South Carolina All-Star game ... Turned in a 6-3 record and 1.89 ERA as a junior ... Fanned 76 batters that season in 55.2 innings on the mound ... Helped his team to a 42-10 record and a conference championship during his varsity career ... Was a two-year letterman for Coach Jeep St. Ledger ...

Personal: Michael John Hurley ... Born 3/11/84 in Wilmington, NC ... Son of Mike and Pam Hurley ... Is studying English.
