Robert
Hunt

Uncommitted. 6-foot-5, 210 pounds. The fact that one of the best pitchers in the 2023 class is still uncommitted just shows the depth of the class. Robert and his HS team are a great example of the special type of talent that needs more exposure in the rural areas of Georgia, and we are committed to bringing this recognition to the masses. This was the best mound performance I’ve seen all spring, as Hunt stepped on the mound with a great plan and executed it to perfection. Not only did he get ahead in counts with the FB and got weak contact, but he was able to throw multiple variations of his disgusting SLV in any possible count. He was just as likely to get ahead on hitters 0-2 with 2 breaking balls as he was to get ahead with the heater. Hunt’s FB worked in the 85-88 range with perfect ease of operation, to the point where it looked like he was just playing catch in the yard all game. The pitch comes in on an incredibly steep plane from his height and 3/4 slot with late sink+tail, creating some angle as well, especially to the glove side. He hides his fluid full circle, mid depth arm action very well and stays behind the ball consistently, allowing his FB to play well up in the zone in addition. His feel to spin was innate, and the tight rotation on his sweeping 73-76 SLV gave the pitch two plane snap with disappearing depth at times. He was able to take some off anf throw it with more of a CB shape, drop down to side arm for true sweep, and back door+front door the pitch in any count with identical life. This is one of the most dynamic breaking balls in the state, and a huge reason Robert has received interest from almost two dozen schools since Friday (including 6 D1’s)! He also rakes as a 1B with tons of raw power, very impressive swing mechanics, and a selective aggressive approach.
