Scouting Report

6/17/19

Hunt looks like he has been spending some time in the weight room adding lean-muscle mass. Hunt ran a 6.66 60-yard dash and threw 90 mph from the outfield. The left-handed hitter was an every day guy in the Marcus lineup this season.

11.04.18
Hunt is an athletic left-handed hitter that coaches will want to get out and see this spring. Starting from an open stance, he coils down into his legs as he triggers his hands down and back, pinching his knees together before striding forward. Slots the barrel in the zone then works on an upward path through contact with loose hands. Squared it up during the game, putting together competitive at-bats and making hard contact, including a single. Ran a 7.06 on a slower track, and threw 83 from the outfield.

6.12.18
5-foot-11, 165-pound frame, with broad shoulders and room to continue to add strength.  Hunt is a left-handed hitter with bat speed and quick twitch actions; posted an 85 mph exit velo off a tee.  He hits with a tall posture and has a low stride where he creates separation in his hands. Hunt stays behind the ball very well with his body and this helps him create more space for his barrel to work through the zone.  He drove balls to right field with backspin carry in batting practice. Hunt also posted a 6.90 laser-timed 60. From the outfield he aggressively closed ground, worked through the ball well with his body, and has a loose arm action with a clean release; 82 mph.
