When it comes to Hunter Greene, his explosive stuff and high-octane fastball immediately come to mind.

Greene is a master at generating swings and misses with his electric arsenal. In 2024, he ranked in the top 10 across all of Major League Baseball in in-zone whiff rate, posting an impressive 22.1%.

At just 25 years old, Greene delivered the best season of his career in 2024, posting a stellar 9-5 record with a 2.75 ERA and earning his first All-Star selection. After such an impressive season, it seems likely that Greene will take the mound as the Reds' Opening Day starter in 2025.
