Brant Harris Hurter (born September 6, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

[edit]

Hurter attended Woodstock High School in Woodstock, Georgia, and played college baseball at Georgia Tech.[1][2] In 2018, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[3] He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the seventh round of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft.[4]

Hurter made his professional debut with the Lakeland Flying Tigers in 2022. He was later promoted to the West Michigan Whitecaps and Erie SeaWolves during the season.[5] On August 4, 2024, the Tigers purchased Hurter's contract and added him to the Major league roster. He made his Major League debut that day when he pitched three scoreless innings against the Kansas City Royals, where he struck out Salvador Perez for his first career strikeout.[6]
