In six total appearances and 17 1/3 innings of work, he had a 2.65 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts. He also allowed an opposing batting average of .141.
In his first season with the Kentucky Wildcats, Hunter came out of the bullpen and made nine total appearances. He had a 4.76 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings of work.
Hunter had more strikeouts than walks for Kentucky in his limited time on the mound in Lexington in 2025.
Cerny hit the ball well in his summer league season for the West Virginia Black Bears in the MLB Draft League.
In 91 at-bats, he had a .341 batting average with nine doubles and nine RBI. He was also a threat on the base paths with 11 stolen bases.
By the end of the summer, Cerny led the MLB Draft League in batting average and OPS (.924). He also had the second-most doubles out of any player in the league.
