Scott Hurst caught the attention of many big-time West Coast programs with tools that make him an intriguing outfielder. A star at Bishop Amat Prep in La Puente, CA., Hurst has the big arm and power/speed combination to project well in college ball. And his talent has him committed to play for the Titans of Cal State Fullerton next year.

Hurst boasted some big numbers in his senior season as a high school player. He hit .438 with a 1.214 OPS in his final year and maintained a .351 batting average over his three-year varsity career as a Lancer. He’s also been rumored to have some ability on the mound, where he can run a fastball up into the low-90’s.

He won a gold medal as a member of USA Baseball’s 18-and-under national team at the World Cup in Taichung, Taiwan. Hurst hit .346 with a double and a triple. He also added four walks, the second most on the team, a steal and played center field.
