Hunter Greene will make his first Triple-A start for the Louisville Bats Thursday night in Omaha, so can we at least wait until Friday morning to start screaming for him to come to The Show?
Greene was simply too good for Class AA. Seven starts, five wins, no losses, 41 innings, 27 hits allowed. Sixty strikeouts, 1.98 ERA. Nice knowin’ ya, son. Hope you liked Chattanooga.
In an age when pitchers are speed-rushed to the majors, sitting in first-class atop a radar gun and a thumb drive filled with every statistic known to man, Greene makes the words “fast’’ and “track’’ seem ponderous.
