The Cincinnati Reds drafted Hunter Greene second overall in the 2017 draft. He pitched and played DH in his brief introduction to rookie ball last season. After poor results hitting, Greene decided to focus on pitching full-time.
MLB Pipeline ranked Greene as the eighth best right handed prospect in the game. Of course, Japanese import Shohei Ohtani is the top prospect on the list. He is in the running for the Los Angeles Angels opening day start.
Greene has already been on the cover of Sports Illustrated. His fastball has already been clocked at over 100 miles per hour.
