08/07/2023 - National Showcase - Chicago, IL Hunter is a lean catcher who is a prospect on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. Quick lateral movements allow him to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off of a soft chest. Pop times showed in the 2.38 range with accuracy to his target. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Offensively, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting abilities with solid power potential through a tall, open setup. He has athletic/smooth actions with fluid rhythm to load. He gets good hand separation through a balanced approach. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path gap-to-gap pop. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. With 3 years to further develop, Hunter has a lot of potential and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
