Tommy Hunter News
Right-hander Tommy Hunter has officially announced his retirement from professional baseball. Hunter calls it a career after 16 seasons in the major leagues, with stops playing for the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Guardians, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. He spent the final three seasons of his career with the Mets after debuting all the way back in 2008 in Texas. The 37-year-old was released by the Mets in June of 2023 after allowing 20 runs (18 earned) with five walks and 20 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. During his long MLB career, Hunter pitched to a 4.07 ERA (4.32 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, 22 saves, 208 walks and 639 strikeouts in 508 appearances (76 starts) and 917 1/3 innings pitched.
New York Mets relief pitcher Tommy Hunter has been designated for assignment on Saturday. The writing was on the wall with this one as Hunter owned an ugly 6.85 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 20:5 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings (14 appearances) on the year. The Mets made a flurry of other moves on Saturday to try and shore up their bullpen. Zack Muckenhirn was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse while relievers John Curtiss and Josh Walker were both recalled.
New York Mets relief pitcher Tommy Hunter has been activated from the 15-day injury list after dealing with back spasms that have bugged the right-hander throughout his career. The veteran was roughed up in two appearances to begin the 2023 season but also tossed a 2.42 ERA across 22 1/3 innings spanning 18 appearances with the Mets last season. After beginning his career as a starter, Hunter has found a place as a rock-solid reliever as he owns a career 3.25 ERA and 5.5 BB% out of the bullpen. The Mets lost closer Edwin Diaz for much, if not all of the 2023 season before it even began as Hunter slides into a Mets bullpen that is led by the likes of Adam Ottavino and David Robertson early in the season.
