Physical Description: Strong, physically imposing frame throughout. Broad shoulders and large arms compliment a trunky lower half. Starting to utilize his size well on both sides.
Hit: Sets up balanced and a bit wide from the right side. Legs stand shoulder width apart with a slight crouch. Hands remain well above the letters. More of a pronounced leg kick in his pre-load, starting to rotate his hips more upon contact. Still a bit stiff mechanically, but hits the ball hard with good strength. Starting to make adjustments by utilizing his lower half more in his pre-load. Stays patient, will draw a walk and wait to attack. Makes good pull-side contact with average bat speed. Still a work in progress, but showing more strides in his natural feel to hit. Grade: 45
Power: Above-average pop at the plate with good leverage and carry in his swing. Barrels balls to his pull-side with authority. Showing some more over-the-fence pop this season. Still sprays balls to the gaps in left-center. Physical strength exudes in his power, tapping into it more consistently. Grade: 55
Field: Showing signs of growth in his defensive ability behind the dish. Size hinders with lateral movements, but has sneaky athleticism and awareness. Blocks a solid amount of balls in the dirt. Solid pop time against opposing base stealers; gets up quick in a hurry. Improved upon his framing behind the dish with more room for growth. Grade: 50
Arm: Plus arm strength behind the dish. Throws come out like rockets with great accuracy. Makes throws from his knees with ease. Strength and athleticism translates to his strong arm; it's an absolute weapon. Grade: 60
Run: Huge size hinders much of his running ability. Not seen as a threat on base. Slow strides, doesn't get up to speed much. Grade: 30
Overall: Hunt is tapping into those tools this season, and it's beginning to show. He's showing a better feel for the strike zone and is getting on base more consistently with smoother mechanics. Power remains his strong suit with loud pull-side pop, and his arm is another go-to tool in his improved defensive ability behind the dish. He's still young and needs a bit more seasoning, but the results are promising for an everyday catcher with his physical ability.
