Mark Jurich is in his second year as Associate Athletic Director for Development on the UofL staff after serving a year as Assistant Athletic Director for Development.

Jurich joined the Cardinals' athletic staff in 2008 after playing five seasons of professional baseball (2004-08) with the Atlanta Braves, which selected him in the 13th round of the MLB Draft. A two-time All-American as an outfielder for UofL, Jurich was twice selected first team All-Conference USA and was named to the C-USA All-Decade Team spanning 1995 to 2005. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from UofL in 2004.

He was the first Louisville player to compete for the USA National Team, which won a silver medal at the 2002 FISU World University Baseball Championship and capturing the 2002 Haarlem Baseball Week Championship.

He and his wife Lainey have two sons, Jay Ryan and Thomas Jack.
