Jurczynski recently wrapped up his sixth year with Princeton. He was promoted to First Assistant/Recruiting Coordinator in October of 2022.
During his time with the Tigers, he has coached 14 All-Ivy selections and six players that have gone on to play professional baseball.
Princeton went 24-23 in 2023 and reached the Ivy League Tournament Championship. The Tigers’ +17-win differential at the time was largest change in NCAA Baseball that season. Princeton had seven All-Ivy selections including Tom Chmielewski and Scott Bandura who were unanimous First-Team selections. Bandura had an all-time season, posting a .363/.454/.665 slash line in 47 games for the Tigers, adding 12 home runs and 45 RB. He led the team in runs (46), triples (three), slugging percentage, stolen bases (15), total bases (121) and on-base percentage. He set the Princeton program record in total bases while his 46 runs are tied for the second most in program history. He was later selected in the seventh round of the MLB Draft by the San Francisco Giants.
Kyle Vinci had the best power season in Ivy history, setting a new conference record with 21 bombs. His 61 RBI and 29 extra base hits are the most ever in a single season by a Princeton Tiger.
In 2022, Princeton had three All-Ivy selections highlighted by second-team honoree Brendan Cumming, who set the Princeton single-season hit record with 67. Matt Scannell and Nadir Lewis also earned second-team All-Ivy honors.
James Proctor (Cincinnati Reds) and Jake Boone (Washington Nationals) signed professional contracts following the 2020 season. Ben Gross was selected by the Houston Astros in 10th round of the 2018 MLB draft and Ryan Smith signed a contract with the Los Angeles Angels in 2019.
