Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene held a 5.26 earned-run average entering today's start against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The are very good. Simply put, the are not. Starting pitcher has given Reds fans reason to hope that their fortune may change in the near future. While some of his statistics haven't been pretty this year, Greene has shown more promise than most pitchers in their rookie seasons. He already received Tommy John surgery a couple of years ago, and his pitches often reach triple digits in speed and velocity. His strikeout rates are off the charts. Combining a sizzling fastball with a deceptive slider, Greene has racked up an 11.8 strikeouts-per-nine-innings rate over 13 starts this season. Including his three punch-outs today against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Greene has a total of 88 strikeouts over 70 innings this season. His weakness lies in his tendency to allow hard contact and plenty of earned runs. Pitching against the Dodgers today, Greene allowed nine hits and six earned runs over five innings. His ERA heading into the game was already an inflated 5.26. It didn't help that he was facing one of the most stacked lineups in baseball, but this has become a trend for Greene. He allowed five runs against the lowly Chicago Cubs back on May 26 and eight against the Milwaukee Brewers on May 5. Twitter was all over his start today.
