San Diego Padres | C
Overall
Summary
Blake Hunt, 27-year-old catcher for the San Diego Padres, was recently shut down due to an oblique injury. Hunt was a second-round pick by the Padres in 2017 but has bounced between multiple organizations (Rays, Orioles, Mariners) before returning to the Padres on a minor league pact following the 2025 season. He was called up to the majors for the first time in July 2024 but has never appeared in a game. In 2025, Hunt performed well for the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma, slashing .272/.368/.452 (108 wRC+) with 8 home runs and 15 doubles in 68 games. His exact timeline for return is unknown, but he figures to be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
