Drafting a pitcher out of high school, especially a righty, is a risk and a rarity. Only a few are taken in the first rounds of any MLB Draft, and a righty high schooler has never been taken first overall. But Hunter Greene was too good for the Cincinnati Reds to pass up with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 Draft, and he did not disappoint.
The 6-foot-4 flamethrower threw 19 pitches at the 2018 Futures Game, each of them clocking at least 100 miles per hour, an ungodly feat. He’s reached a top velocity of 103.
