Coming off a dazzling debut with the Biloxi Shuckers, former Mississippi State pitcher K.C. Hunt will make his first start at Keesler Federal Park this Friday.
Hunt, who was called up to Double-A last week, quickly acclimated to the promotion by striking out eight and allowing just one earned run against the Montgomery Biscuits on Saturday. On Monday, the Shuckers announced the right-hander would get the ball again for Friday’s game against the Mississippi Braves.

Hunt started the season with Low-A South Carolina before moving up to High-A Wisconsin. Now considered the No. 23 prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system, the former Bulldog has a 7-2 record with a 1.92 earned run average and one save in 2024.
During his college years, the New Jersey native helped Mississippi State to its first-ever national championship in 2021 before signing with the Brewers as an undrafted free agent in 2023.
