There is no exaggeration in my voice when I say that Hunter Greene has been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball in 2024 and will, deservedly, get a lot of votes for the Cy Young Award in the National League.
This isn’t my stump speech. The numbers are all there.
Greene’s been valued at 5.4 bWAR so far this season, and that’s the most from any single NL pitcher (and behind only Detroit’s Tarik Skubal at 5.5 for the MLB lead). FanGraphs isn’t quite so high on Hunter, but his 3.7 fWAR sits tied for the 8th most of any pitcher in the game this year.
