At 12, he crushed 5 homers, plays with heart, and came back stronger after a broken foot—his grit and passion make him Athlete of the Year!

Hunter loves the thrill of competition, the strategy behind every pitch, and the feeling of cracking a ball clean off the bat. He lives for those clutch moments when the team counts on him and he delivers.
Hunter is inspired by his coach, who brings out the best in him, and by his team, who fight for each other every game. His family also fuels his drive—they show up, cheer loud, and remind him why he plays with heart.
After breaking his foot mid-season, Hunter attacked recovery with everything he had. In his first game back, he hit a home run and stole two bases. Now he leads his team in homers—an incredible rise for a kid who used to get nervous just stepping into the box.
