Hunter Greene sets velocity records in scoreless start, but Reds fall in extras
ST. LOUIS – Hunter Greene went 48 days between Major League starts because of a stint on the injured list, but if anyone forgot about his talent, he offered a reminder to everybody Saturday.
Greene showcased record velocity with his fastball and dared hitters to try to catch up with it.
Spoiler alert, it was too much heat.
He pitched six scoreless innings before he reached his pitch count, continuing to ramp up from a shoulder strain. He struck out a career-high 11 batters without issuing a walk. His average fastball velocity – average – was 101 mph.
