Dayton Dragons starting pitcher Hunter Greene, the 18-year-old 2017 first-round pick (2nd overall) of the Cincinnati Reds, broke the Fifth Third Field record for fastest pitch with a fastball clocked at 102 miles per hour in the first inning of the Dragons' 2-1 win Thursday night against the Fort Wayne TinCaps, according to Dragons reporter Tom Nichols, who added that Greene left the game after two scoreless innings because of an upset stomach.
Greene, former Reds and current Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, and current Dragons reliever Aneurys Zabala had previously reached 101 mph on the gun at Fifth Third Field, according to Nichols' game story on milb.
