ATVL’s 14th best reliever in the 2017 Valley League season is Winchester’s Hunter Fillingim, a redshirt senior from Florida A&M!
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound righthander put up the following stat line for the Royals:
| Win | ERA | W | L | G | SV | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | BAVG | WIP | BB/9 | K/9 |
| 2017 | 2.10 | 2 | 2 | 15 | 3 | 25.7 | 19 | 7 | 6 | 11 | 22 | 0.211 | 1.167 | 3.9 | 7.7 |
| Play | 13.50 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 3.3 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 1 | 8 | 0.444 | 2.727 | 2.7 | 21.8 |
So Hunter’s playoff stats weren’t quite up to par, but still, getting 8 out of 10 outs by strikeout is still pretty impressive. Hunter was given the “Outstanding Pitcher” award for the Royals (pic below).
Hunter has three years of stats in college so far:
| ERA | W | L | G | SV | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | WIP | BB/9 | K/9 | |
| 2014 | 3.18 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 0 | 51.0 | 58 | 28 | 18 | 21 | 32 | 1.549 | 3.7 | 5.6 |
| 2016 | 4.58 | 3 | 1 | 21 | 2 | 17.7 | 15 | 10 | 9 | 17 | 24 | 1.808 | 8.6 | 12.2 |
| 2017 | 2.36 | 3 | 2 | 23 | 4 | 26.7 | 28 | 15 | 7 | 10 | 36 | 1.423 | 3.4 | 12.1 |
Hunter pitched at Florida State College of Jacksonville in 2014, and redshirted 2015 after an ACL tear in the fall of ’14. He pitched for Florida A&M in 2016 and 2017, and was named to the MEAC All-Academic team both years.
Congratulations on your excellent summer, Hunter!
