Injuries limited Hunter to just 5.1 innings in 2019, but the Phillies liked what they saw from him the previous year enough to bring him back for another season, a decision that likely wasn't too hard to make given that they had to pay him less than a million dollars. While he hardly stood out last season, it's safe to say the 34-year-old gave them their money's worth, as he appeared in 24 games (tied for a team high) while recording a respectable 4.01 ERA. Hunter's peripherals were solid, as he posted a slightly above-average 24.5 K% and a strong 5.9 BB%. His fastball velocity dropped by nearly a tick and a half to 92.7 mph, but he adjusted by cutting its usage by nearly 10 percentage points and increasing his curveball usage by the same amount. Overall, Hunter remains a capable bullpen arm in the latter stages of his career, but he doesn't belong in a fantasy-relevant role.
