Hunter Greene Stats

The Cincinnati Reds have made several roster moves ahead of Friday's deadline to protect players from the Rule 5 draft, adding top prospect Hunter Greene and four others to the 40-man roster. Greene, the top pitching prospect in the Cincinnati system, was originally selected as a two-way player at shortstop and pitcher with the second overall pick in the 2017 draft. He has since undergone Tommy John surgery, but performed well in 2021 with a 3.30 ERA and 31.7 strikeout percentage across two minor league levels. With the Reds entering a rebuild, it's likely Greene will see his first major-league action this year. He should be rostered in all dynasty leagues and is a potential late-round stash in redraft formats.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene starred with his arm and bat on Sunday for Triple-A Louisville. He was 1-for-2 with an RBI and gave up an earned run and five hits while striking out two over five innings pitched. The 21-year-old, the Reds No. 2 prospect, is quickly learning that he cannot get by with triple-digit heat alone. At Louisville this year, he is 5-0 with a 1.98 ERA and 60 strikeouts over 41 innings. Greene missed all of 2019 after having Tommy John surgery and spent last summer at the alternate training site. He's one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, though we're unlikely to see him at the major league level until at least 2022.

The No. 55 overall prospect struck out six and gave up two hits while walking three in his five scoreless innings of work.

The Reds No. 2 prospect is quickly learning that he cannot get by with triple-digit heat alone. Overall this year, he's 6-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 50 innings. Wednesday was the seventh time in nine starts he's allowed two or fewer runs, and his 74 K's are tied for the second-most in the minors.

He's one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, but we're unlikely to see him at the major league level until at least 2022.
