Biographical Information

Petar Juričić has played for the Croatian national team.

At age 15, he was with Vindija Varazdijn for the 2018 Federations Cup, allowing three runs in one inning and going 0 for 2. He was better in the 2019 CEB Cup, allowing one run in five; he was 0 for 6 at the plate. He was Croatia's second-youngest player at the 2021 European Championship, as only Benjamin Paulić was younger. He played in five of their six games, but usually only as a pinch-runner. Against Germany, he ran for Petar Rumora and scored on a single by Jose Herrera, but did not stay in the game. Versus the Ukrainian national team, he ran for Andrija Tomić and was doubled in by Herrera; when he came up later in a high-scoring inning, he was lifted for pinch-hitter Marin Tadić. The next day, he replaced Antonio Horvatić in right field in a loss to Spain. He ran for Rumora against Italy and scored on a Herrera sac fly, giving him three runs in three games as a pinch-runner, each time driven in by the same player. He pitched against the Czech national team, relieving Karlo Kos with a 15-2 deficit in the bottom of the 6th. It was a rough outing. He walked Vojtěch Menšík then Martin Zelenka reached on an error. Matěj Menšík singled to make it 16-2 and he intentionally walked Petr Zýma to load the bags. He then walked Martin Schneider to force in a run, ending the game due to the mercy rule.
