In his only major league season, Hunt was a member of the Cincinnati Reds 1961 National League champions who faced the New York Yankees in the World Series. That season he won the "TSN Rookie Pitcher of the Year Award", after going 9-10 with 75 strikeouts in 136⅓ innings of work, and his 3.96 ERA ranked him fourth in the Reds rotation behind Jim O'Toole (3.10), Joey Jay (3.53) and Bob Purkey (3.73).

Following his major league career, Hunt pitched in the minors for seven years. Hunt earned a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University in 1983. After retiring, he taught English and coached basketball and baseball at Morgan (UT) High School. In 2004, he felt honored to be inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame.

Hunt died in Morgan, Utah at age 69.
