Hunter Greene

If you feel the need for pitching speed, Hunter Greene offers you all that and then some. Unfortunately, he also offers 3.4 BB/9 as he sometimes isn't sure where his 100-mph throws will end up. Down the stretch in 2022, he showed improvement with a 45:8 K:BB ratio in August and September. The 23-year-old is projected to have a K-rate north of 30%, and he will certainly boost a fantasy team's strikeout count. He pitches for a terrible team in an extremely hitter-friendly ballpark, so there will be growing pains, but if he harnesses his talent, he will be a steal at his current ADP.

Hunter Greene dominates Cubs in last start of season Monday

Hunter Greene won his fifth game Monday after shutting the Cubs out over six innings while striking out eight. Greene only allowed two hits and one walk on the evening.

Fantasy Impact

After struggling early in the season, the rookie showed his potential after the All-Star break. In 35 and 1/3 innings over six starts since the break, Greene only gave up four earned runs (1.02 ERA) with 51 strikeouts (13 K/9). The 23-year-old goes into the offseason with much momentum and figures to be a popular sleeper in drafts next year.
