04/28/2024 - National Showcase - Binghamton, NY Hunter continues to impress with his baseball abilities on the diamond. Behind the dish, he tracks pitches well and sticks them in the zone with a firm mitt. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to create better angles to deaden balls out front. Pop times showed in 2.22 range with accuracy / carry on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss and works to get rid of the baseball quicker. In the OF, he displays smooth fluid actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying solid hitting / power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach, flashing gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing as he transfers weight into a firm front side.
