K.C. Hunt Tallies Season-High 10 Strikeouts
5 months agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitching prospect K.C. Hunt tallied a season-high 10 strikeouts on Wednesday across 5 1/3 one-hit frames. He allowed just two free passes. Since May 1, the 23-year-old has only allowed more than one earned run in just one outing and has three shutout performances. Overall through his first 34 1/3 innings at High-A, the right-hander has looked quite comfortable with a 2.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and an 8:50 BB:K. Hunt opened the season in Single-A but needed just 19 innings to prove he was ready for a promotion, as he posted a stellar 1.42 ERA and 0.68 WHIP. While Hunt currently sits outside Milwaukee's top-30 prospects on MLB.com, he should join this list later this summer due to his excellent development over the first half of the season.
