Hunter Harvey’s minor league career started with a ton of promise. The 2013 first-round pick of the Baltimore Orioles out of Bandy High School in Catawba, North Carolina was an absolute stud in his first two minor league seasons. In 2013, he posted a 1.78 ERA in eight starts between his stint in the Gulf Coast League and in Low-A with the Aberdeen Ironbirds.
In 2014, at just 19, he was selected to the Futures Game and posted a 3.18 ERA with 106 strikeouts in just 87 2/3 innings over 17 starts in class-A Delmarva.
