Shon Plack
Missouri Scouting Director

Mason Hunter (Battle, 2017) posted the top pitcher's velo at the Top Unsigned Prospect Showcase on Oct. 30 in Wichita. 

Hunter worked 87-90 with his fastball, after coming back from injury that sidelined him from taking the mound last spring.  He showed a tight spinning 11-to-5 breaking ball at 76-78 mph.  His change-up was 79-82 mph.  Although still working on command, Hunter looked strong in his bullpen session.

Here is a look inside the recruitment of Hunter Mason.

PBR: Are you looking for anything in particular in a school? (Example: high academics, certain academic program, local, etc.) 

Hunter: I am most interested in an engineering program but I will entertain other schools as pre-engineering.

PBR: How did you do your junior year? What were your high school statistics? And how did your team do?

Hunter: I go to Battle High School in Columbia MO.  Our record in 2016 was 15-12.  I was released at the end of the season to get a few at bats.

PBR: What are you goals for your senior season?

Hunter: My plan for my senior year is to work with my pitching coach as I return to full potential from surgery. I am going to spend my winter workouts concentrating on my core and strength and looking forward to mound time this Spring. I also am going to continue to study and to keep my GPA up.

PBR: What travel team do you play for? Are you playing fall ball with a team?

Hunter: The last 3 years, I have played for Team Missouri Baseball (Retro Baseball) from St. Louis. I was on the National team. I played for Tribe this fall that is a local team so I could get some first appearances against batter since my surgery.

PBR: Do you play any other sports?

Hunter: No.

PBR: What are your ACT and GPA? 

Hunter: I have an ACT score of 21 composite and a 3.9 GPA
