Shane Greene is good.
In 14 games so far this season, he has a whopping 12 saves (in 12 opportunities), a 1.29 ERA, 2.48 FIP, and... excuse me while I clean my glasses... a 0.643 WHIP. Yow. Greene, who took over closer duties in 2017, has shown glimmers of really top-notch stuff in the past, but this season we’re getting a look at what a healthy, and keyed-in Greene looks like, and it is dominant.
So dominant in fact, that Greene was selected as the AL reliever of the month for April. The award, which has only been around since 2017, has never been given to a Tigers player since its inception.
