Great add, hits the ball as hard as anyone and can play multiple positions.
If theres anybody that deserves another chance at conference, its this guy. Absolutely mashes and plays multiple positions. Great teamate, great roomate, and is a all around great guy!!! Give this kid a chance
Ive seen very few people hit the ball as hard as this dude.
Hunter played for both Will Sanchez and myself on Stars this year. If you’re interested in signing Hunter and need a reference absolutely contact me.
Hunter is a great teammate who can hit line to line with incredible power. He’s all hustle and he will absolutely never give up on his teammates, coaches, and sponsors. I have been pitching him all over the country this off-season because I couldn’t take him with me to Precision. Someone needs to sign this guy, he will NOT let you down.
