Hunter Greene

It's far too early to offer Greene a long deal. He's ours for at least another 5 yrs. He needs to show he can stay healthy. We also don't know if he'll age well

He'll only be 29 after a 6 year deal buying a year of free agency.

If the Reds follow the Castillo and Mahle templates then Greene is a Red for 3 1/2 more years. If you wait too late to offer the deal it will cost way more. The Reds have nothing on the books after 2023 and could desperately use some good PR. Lock up Green for 7 or 8 years and build the staff around him moving forward. I trust GReene to hold up physically more than Lodolo and Stephenson, and the other extension candidate(India) can be replaced in house with the plethora of IF prospects we have.

A CONVERSATION WITH HUNTER GREENE

A highly anticipated prospect since he was the second overall pick in the 2017 Draft, Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene arrived in the big leagues in 2022 and showed what the hype was about.

Greene, 23, routinely touched 101-102 mph with his fastball and developed his slider and changeup.

It wasn’t all smooth throughout his 24 starts, and the right-hander finished 5-13 with a 4.44 ERA and a team-leading 164 strikeouts in 125 2/3 innings.

There were also 24 home runs allowed, including 23 before the All-Star break. But after working on sharpening his fastball location, Greene had a 0.78 ERA with 37 strikeouts over his final four starts -- after returning from a right shoulder strain.

MLB.com: After throwing the most innings in a season of your pro career, did it feel different after the season ended to shut everything down for the offseason? How have you recovered?

Greene: Yeah. I’m ready to go. I actually started to play catch today. I have a really good program in place and feel great. That’s always a nice feeling coming out of a season and being able to get into your training. You’re feeling like you’re ready to go and really conquer the world.

MLB.com: With no injuries to rehab from, what’s it like to have a normal offseason?

Greene: It’s a great feeling to be able to put all of your focus and attention into the betterment of your game, and being able to level up is a great feeling. You don’t feel like you have obstacles to overcome just to get to a healthy part of your career. There’s a lot to work on and a lot to build off of.

MLB.com: What are you working on between now and February?

Greene: I just started throwing, but obviously I want the consistency to my mechanics and making sure I feel good going into my bullpens and that all my pitches are working, and all that good stuff. I want to be well-rounded coming into Spring Training and healthy

It's time to get excited about Hunter Greene … again.

There should be as much hype for Greene's 2023 debut as there was surrounding his big league debut in 2022, when he came out ripping 100 mph fastballs against the reigning World Series champion Braves and then set a pitch-tracking era record with 39 triple-digit heaters in his second career start against the Dodgers.

That was an incredible showcase of pure talent. But this could be the year that the 23-year-old -- who just spoke to 80 young players hoping to follow his path to the Major Leagues at MLB's DREAM Series this week -- emerges as one of baseball's best young aces-in-the-making.

Projections love Greene entering 2023

Steamer sees him as a top-25 pitcher by Wins Above Replacement, on the same level as Dylan Cease, Max Fried, Blake Snell and Zac Gallen, and projects him for 212 strikeouts, 11th-most of any pitcher.
