Hall of Fame
David Hurley '87 played baseball for SMU from 1983 through 1986 and was Coach Bruce Wheeler's top pitchers throughout his career. Fifteen years after his graduation, Hurley's name still dominates the Corsair record book like no other pitcher. Hurley is ranked first in several categories, including games started in a season (15 twice), innings pitched in a season (109), career starts (52), career innings pitched (394), and career victories (30). He ranks second all-time in complete games (25), is tied for second in single season wins (10) and is third in career appearances (67). His 204 career strikeouts were fourth best in the 30-year history of baseball at SMU and UMass Dartmouth. In his four years with the Corsairs, Hurley was both a starter and a relief pitcher who took the baseball whenever the Corsairs needed him most.
