Hunter Greene News
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene looked very sharp in Monday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks. Greene pitched 7 innings before the game was called due to rain, allowing no runs on a single hit and no walks with eight strikeouts. It was one of the 22-year-old's best starts of the season and showcased why he has so much fantasy excitement surrounding him. That being said, he has been highly inconsistent this season and now has a 3-7 record with a 5.40 ERA, 72 strikeouts, and 24 walks over 11 starts and 55 IP. His next matchup will be a tough one at the Cardinals and fantasy managers should avoid him, despite his most-recent showing.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene had the most impressive start of his young career thus far in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He pitched 7 1/3 innings and didn't allow a single hit while striking out nine batters. Unfortunately, he walked five batters and allowed a run to score on a fielder's choice play in the eighth inning. The Reds weren't able to provide any run support for him, so he wound up with his sixth loss in the game. The rookie now sits at 1-6 with a 6.21 ERA on the season. He'll look to build off Sunday's outing in his next trip to the mound, which will be next Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene will make his next start either Friday or Saturday, according to Reds manager David Bell. Either game would unfortunately have him facing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Greene had some concerning velocity metrics in his last start against the St. Louis Cardinals this past Friday. His velocity dip is what is causing his next start to be pushed back a few days. In his second start of the year, he averaged 100.2 mph on his four-seam fastball, but this past Friday, the pitch averaged just 95.8 mph. The surface numbers haven't looked great for the rookie this year as he is 1-2 with a 5.27 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP, but he's certainly flashed ace potential and fantasy managers should attempt to hold onto him if possible.

Hunter Greene is ranked as the Reds number one prospect according to MLB Pipeline and is set to make his MLB debut during the opening weekend of the season. That's largely down to the Reds seemingly giving up on the season before it began by trading a host of their starting roster. But it could turn out to be a blessing if Greene can fulfill the promise he's shown in the Minor Leagues. Greene underwent TJS in 2018, resulting in him missing the whole of 2019 and he didn't return to live game action until last year (due to no MiLB season in 2020). Across Double-A and Triple-A, Greene had a 3.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP with 139 Ks in 106.1 IP. On the 20-80 grading scale (with 50 being MLB average), MLB Pipeline has Greene with an 80-grade fastball which he flashed this Spring, topping 100 MPH regularly. Despite that, Greene did have some struggles this Spring, putting up a 7.00 ERA over 9.0 IP with the four home runs allowed standing out. While we shouldn't put too much thought into such a small sample during Spring Training, home runs were a problem at Triple-A last season too, with Greene giving up 11 homers in 65.1 IP. That translates into 1.52 HR/9 which ties the sixth-highest among qualified MLB starters in 2021. It's likely Greene is limited to ~120.0 IP this year, with the Reds not looking to be in postseason contention and last year being the first time he topped 100.0 IP as a professional. Providing Greene can keep the home runs in check, he should provide value on his ADP of ~417 this draft season. Just don't expect many wins.
