Achieving a professional pitching career that spanned two decades including two seasons (2003/04) at the major league level with the Toronto Blue Jays, Corey Thurman is one of the greatest, all-time pitchers in Atlantic League history.

On the roster for eight seasons (2008-15) with the York Revolution, Thurman established his number-one-starter reputation on the mound in the Atlantic League as he four times achieved both double-digit-win seasons and over one-hundred strikeouts in the same year.

Included in these seasons, the 6’2” right-hander put together back-to-back .800 winning percentage seasons together in 2011 & 2012 with records of 13-3 and 14-3 respectively.  In addition, Thurman was an integral part and a clubhouse leader for the 2010/2011 back-to-back York Revolution Atlantic League Championships.

In 2015, Thurman finished his Atlantic League career in second place on the all-time career pitching leader boards with 66 wins, 667 strikeouts and 980.1 innings pitched finishing only behind Tim Cain (Newark/Bridgeport) in each category who pitched 170 innings more than Thurman in his career.

Thurman’s presence in the York community equalled his presence on the mound as he established himself as a beloved face of the franchise, serving as player representative for the Rev’s Healthy Kids Club while working with youth baseball.  He remains a very popular resident of the York community.

The Revolution announced prior to the 2016 season that Thurman's number 35 will be retired by the franchise. He will be the first player in York history to be so honored.
