Tommy Hunter Called Up By Mets
2 years agoThe New York Mets are calling up veteran relief pitcher Tommy Hunter from the minors on Thursday, according to a source. Hunter, who was signed to a minor league deal in April, had 14 strikeouts and only one walk in 13 2/3 innings at Triple-A Syracuse. He was also sporting a 2.08 ERA in his last five appearances, but he posted a 4.61 ERA and 1.24 WHIP overall in eight relief outings. The 35-year-old right-hander pitched eight innings for the Mets last year, but he'll give them veteran bullpen depth, having thrown 871 1/3 innings in the big leagues over 14 seasons with seven different teams.
