Braves face Reds prospect Hunter Greene in going for series win

Field Level Media

One of baseball's most heralded pitching prospects makes his major league debut Sunday against the defending World Series champions.

Hard-throwing Cincinnati right-hander Hunter Greene takes the hill for the first time as the visiting Reds and Atlanta Braves conclude their season-opening four-game series.

Greene, at 22 years, 247 days, will become the youngest Cincinnati starting pitcher to make his big league debut since Mike Leake received no decision in a 3-1 Reds win on April 11, 2010, against the Cubs.

Greene was selected by the Reds in the first round (second overall) of the June 2017 first-year player draft and was rated by MLB.
