Reds prospect Hunter Greene really brought the heat in his first start in Double A on Wednesday.
Greene, who was pitching in his first competitive game since 2018 after missing the 2019 season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and the cancelation of the 2020 minor league season, allowed three hits and one run over five innings of work for the Chattanooga Lookouts. He struck out eight and didn’t issue a walk. The big story, though, was his velocity.
Greene threw a total of 71 pitches, 43 of which were fastballs and 37 of which were over 100 mph.
