Hunter Greene had a roller coaster of a 2018 season. He started quite slow out of the gate during a brutally cold month of April, allowing opponents to tag him for a 1.245 OPS during his first 5 games, in which he was shelled for 2 dingers and 15 ER in just 9.2 IP. His next 10 games, however, began to reveal his incredible upside, as the still 18 year old posted a 2.31 ERA over 50.2 IP, holding opponents to just a .612 OPS while logging a stellar 59/9 K/BB.
That, paired with his lofty status as a former #2 overall pick, landed him in MLB’s Futures Game during All Star weekend, where he wowed everyone with his 103 mph fastball.
