It’s not just a cool color—Hunter Greene was also the second pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, is set to be a piece of the Cincinnati Reds’ rotation for the 2022 season, and can touch 104 mph with his fastball.
Indeed. The right-hander made the Reds’ 2022 Opening Day roster and will debut on April 10 in Atlanta against the defending World Series champion Braves; it’ll be the Reds’ fourth game of the season.

Greene put together a 10-8 record and 3.30 ERA in 21 starts at Double-A and Triple-A last year to go with 139 Ks to 39 BBs in 106 1/3 innings.
A star pitcher and shortstop at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Greene was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated the year he was drafted. The Twins took SS/3B Royce Lewis ahead of Greene, who received the largest signing bonus of the draft class ($7.23 million) for eschewing a college career at UCLA.
Greene pitched in the 2018 All-Star Futures Game but needed Tommy John surgery after the season and missed all of 2019. The 2020 minor league season was canceled due to COVID, but Greene stayed in Cincinnati to train.
An injury and COVID-19 delayed his MLB debut, but come April 10 we’ll get to see what he can do.
