Over the weekend Hunter Greene made his 5th start of the season for the Chattanooga Lookouts. The 21-year-old allowed two runs in 7.0 innings with a walk and eight strikeouts. The two earned runs match the most he’s allowed in a start this year. During the start he threw 101 pitches with 70 strikes. Among those 101 pitches were 29 fastballs that clocked in at 100+ MPH. 27 of those went for strikes.
Two weeks ago Greene brought home the Double-A South Pitcher of the Week Award for a 10-strikeout performances against Montgomery. For the month of May he’s probably in the running for Pitcher of the Month in the league, too.
