Scouting Report
Hunt was signed as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 MLB Draft. In the 20 rounds of the draft, nobody used a pick on him. About 14 months later, he’s just put the finishing touches on a spectacular debut season, taking home co-Pitcher of the Year honors in the organization, and is now seen as a top-20 prospect in the Brewers system, at least in these parts. Hunt began the season with Low-A Carolina as a reliever and finished it in Double-A Biloxi as a starter. It was a whirlwind of a season, but Hunt never wavered, performing extremely well every step of the way.
Hunt’s move to the rotation was made possible by his five-pitch mix, consisting of a four-seam fastball, slider, cutter, curveball and changeup (in order of 2024 usage). The four-seam is thrown in the 90-93 MPH range, and averaged around 18” of Induced Vertical Break. It also comes in with a -4.5 Vertical Approach Angle, both of which helped it play up above what the velocity would lead you to guess. His cutter is in the 86-88 range on average, and generated a lot of swings and misses on pitches away from righties.
His mid-80s bullet slider is a true plus-plus, elite offering. According to Baseball America, he recorded a 48% whiff rate, 40% chase rate and a staggering 58% CSW% (Called Strikes + Whiff Rate) with the slider. Pitch-level data isn’t publicly available for Double-A and lower, but that CSW% would have been the highest for anyone with at least 200 sliders thrown at Triple-A or MLB this season. The closest was Jason Adam of the Rays, who had a 49.3% rate. An absolutely elite offering.
Hunt’s curveball is a good pitch as well, though he struggles to command it as well as the slider. The curve has sharp, downer movement and a pretty big shape, which can make it difficult to spot. Off nights were rare for Hunt in 2024, but when they happened, it often came when he was struggling to get the curve down. He also threw a changeup, though he only used it 5% of the time. Another upper-80s pitch, it was mainly used against lefties. He struggled with it early on, but it actually made some pretty big strides throughout the season and is an average pitch at this point.
Command and control were both fantastic for Hunt as well. He threw 65% of his pitches for strikes and posted a very strong 6.3% walk rate.
Hunt did so well in his two-month stint at Double-A that the organization may feel comfortable having him begin 2025 in Nashville, where he would be one call away from making his MLB debut. Hunt has mid-rotation upside with his wide array of pitches and above-average command. There seems to be a good chance of seeing him in Milwaukee, sooner rather than later.
