Height: 6'

PBR Scouting Report: May be one of the top uncommitted prospects in the 2016 class for Nebraska. On the mound sits 82-83 mph with his fastball, topping out at 85. Also spins two breaking balls for strikes including a knuckle curve. His athletic ability allows him to repeat his mechanic and everything stays online towards the plate. Almost two years out of Tommy John surgery, Jurjevich should see a jump in velocity as the weather continues to warm this spring. Jurjevich shows strong potential at the plate and in the infield. He has above average hands and carry across the diamond. Simple mechanics at the plate with a line drive swing plane with a gap to gap approach.
