Nunez, who joins the Baycats after spending the 2022 season with the Guelph Royals, was in the Texas Rangers organization from 2015 to 2019, pitching to a 3.06 ERA with low-A baseball in Spokane, Wash., in 2019.
The Baycats finished in fifth place last season with a 14-16 record and lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the IBL semifinals.
The franchise, which was established in 2001, won league championships in six straight seasons, from 2014 to 2019, as well as its first IBL title in 2005.
