If Hunter Greene doesn’t ever get better than what he’s shown us so far, he will still settle in as a quality mid-rotation option for the Cincinnati Reds. Big strikeouts, big dingers served up, an ERA that’s bigger than we’d expect it to be from a guy who can spin a baseball that damn hard.
It’s my time to annually remind you, though, that Hunter Greene and Matt McLain were born on the exact same day. They’re the same age, Greene and the guy we were all expecting to step right in and improve upon his excellent 2023 season (prior to his unfortunate shoulder surgery).
