Hunter Greene gets it. This young man, whom the Cincinnati Reds took with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, has all the tools to be a big-time success when he reaches the Major League level. However, it’s what I see from Greene off the field rather than on the diamond that makes me a fan.
I had the pleasure of meeting Greene during the photograph sessions at RedsFest this past year and was very impressed with how interactive the 19-year-old was with all the fans. As I walked around the Duke Energy Convention Center later that afternoon, I stumbled upon him at one of the main floor activities teaching kids how to throw a pitch.
