While attending Gwangju Jaeil High School, Hur was considered one of the Big 4 shortstops in the Korean high school baseball league along with future KBO stars An Chi-Hong, Kim Sang-Su and Oh Ji-Hwan.

In 2008, Hur was selected for the South Korea national junior baseball team again to compete at the World Junior Baseball Championship, where they claimed their fifth tournament title. In the tourney, he batted .200 (6-for-30) with 2 RBIs and 5 runs, playing in all 8 games as a starting shortstop.
