Torii Hunter is an outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Hunter has shown his athletic ability, having taken away many home runs throughout his 11-year baseball career for
the Minnesota Twins by "climbing the fence" in the outfield.
ESPN commentators have called Hunter a "daily web gem," referring to ESPN's nightly highlight reel.
He has won eight consecutive Gold Glove Awards for his defensive prowess playing the Centerfield position.
Torii Hunter was selected as the Twins' first-round pick in 1993 out of high school.
After turning down a three-year, $45 million deal in August 2007 from the Twins,
Hunter went on to sign the largest contract offered to him.
On November 21, he signed a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim worth $90 million.
He replaced Gary Matthews Jr. as the everyday center fielder.
