Spurlock was born to Mormon missionaries in 2038 and began playing Little League when his parents settled down into Pleasant Grove, UT. He was selected 15th overall by the Boise Spuds in the 2055 amateur draft, but his draft stock possibly slid due to reports he may not pitch on Sundays. He was then traded to the Bluebirds in exchange for RP Ricardo Rivera in 2056.

As a 16-year-old, Spurlock showed he was far more advanced than his peers in rookie ball posting a 3.13 ERA in 12 starts in 2055. A year later he split time between Boise and Nashville Short A systems and continued to impress with a combined 2.59 ERA in 11 starts earning a spot on the Single A postseason roster for the Springdale Roosters. That lone start wasn’t his best, but he will begin 2057 in Single A, though he may prove ready for tougher competition despite his age. With no room in Nashville’s pitching staff, he won’t be rushed too quickly.


ETA: 2059

Not much to report here. Spurlock didn't change much from last season, though added a point of stamina. He pitched well last season in Single A with a 73 FIP- in 135 IP. He'll be 20 this year and pitch again in Single A, though he would be up another level or two if he were older. This kid might be a good reliever conversion at some point.
