Jake Hunter (2021, Rockwell, N.C.) got the day started over at Jet Blue Park as the physical righthander showed a lot of things to like out of a workhorse frame. The 6-4, 225 pound righthander has immense physicality with a durable build overall and it showed as he was able to maintain his fastball velocity throughout the start, albeit a 40-pitch outing that will allow him to be fresh for bracket play.
