“I feel blessed to be able to stay in<br />
Charlottesville and give back to this community<br />
through baseball, which has given a lot to me,”<br />
said Hunt, who will continue as the MHS coach<br />
and school registrar. “Baseball in Charlottesville<br />
means a lot to me.”<br />
“The game of baseball doesn’t change,” he<br />
said. “Whatever level you’re at, the<br />
fundamentals stay the same. Coaching it at<br />
different levels is going to be a challenge, but I’ll<br />
show up to the ball field every day.”<br />
Hunt said Virginia head coach Brian O’Connor<br />
and his staff were his inspiration for going into<br />
coaching.<br />
“They go about their business every day giving<br />
100 percent,” Hunt said. “That’s what they’ve<br />
instilled in me and what I’ve taken from them. I<br />
wouldn’t be in this position without guys like<br />
that who have showed me.”<br />
