There are 84 pitchers on the planet who have thrown at least 200 innings since the start of the 2024 season, and only four of them have a lower ERA in that time than Hunter Greene’s 2.74.
You may have heard of those four guys: Paul Skenes (1.94), Tarik Skubal (2.31), Chris Sale (2.43), and Zack Wheeler (2.50).
Greene, of course, has settled in as the resident ace of the Cincinnati Reds, though he’s been absent from their mound since June 3rd after a nagging groin issue shut him down once again. It’s the same groin that sent him to the shelf for a time in May, and the Reds have been cautious in bringing their ace back along despite their persistence in the National League Wild Card chase.
