The O’s avoided Hunter’s first year of arbitration by agreeing to the deal.
The 26-year old right-hander was 7-8 with a 5.45 ERA in 33 games (20 starts) last season, but was more effective as a reliever, winning all three of his decisions while pitching to a 3.71 ERA.
He was 3-0 with a 0.71 ERA in his last 10 games and was a big part of the Orioles’ push down the stretch that earned the team’s first playoff appearance since 1997.
Hunter has a career 4.77 ERA in five years between Baltimore and first with Texas where he was the Rangers’ first-round selection in the 2007 draft.
