Jake Hunter (2021 Rockwell, NC) is as competitive as any pitcher in the class. He finished his travel ball career in stunning fashion throwing a ton of quality strikes using his refined three pitch mix. Given his stuff, 6-foot-4 frame, and pitchability he is a great candidate to continue to make jumps.

The tall, talented 17-year-old has been firmly committed to East Carolina’s baseball program since the summer of 2019 and the NCHSAA has a plan in place for him to have a senior season that will start in late April and run into June.
Hunter will be expected to provided Strasburg-like mound outings for East Rowan and eventually for East Carolina. He’s almost 6-foot-4 and he’s a 90-mph guy. He’s hit 91 on the radar gun. More importantly, he can work consistently at 89-90 and command three pitches.

Hunter had less of a breakout than he did a cherry on top to cap off an outstanding year on the circuit. Hunter seemed to dominate in every start he showed up at over the summer and he did again on the big stage in Fort Myers with a complete game, eleven-strikeout performance at 8 am against one of the favorites in the event. He’s got an impressive repertoire with real feel command as his combination of youth and size could lead to a rise up boards come next spring.
