The 23-year-old righty has wowed many across the league with his consistent high velocity. He's averaging 99.1 mph on his fastball this season.He ranks among the 99 percentile of starting pitchers in the league with his fastball velocity. He could be a dangerous pitcher if he can keep this up and get better command of his slider.&quot;This is HUGE,&quot; one fan tweeted.Chad Dotson@dotsoncThis is HUGE. twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…Jeff Passan@JeffPassanBREAKING: Right-hander Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds are in agreement on a six-year, $53 million contract extension that includes a seventh-year option, pending physical, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.

If their young talent develops, they could be a team to watch out for in the next couple of years.Hunter Greene has the ability to be an all-time great for the Cincinnati RedsHunter GreeneThe Cincinnati Reds aren't engrossed in a rich history of great baseball pitchers. They've had guys like Johnny Cueto, Aroldis Chapman and Bronson Arroyo, but they're not known for having great starting pitching.This could change with Hunter Greene's presence. Nobody in the league is consistently throwing as hard as he is. And with the new pitch clock this season, there's more of an emphasis on velocity.2022 was Greene's first season in Major League Baseball. He posted a 5-13 record with a 4.44 ERA. While he struggled at times, he was still able to keep his ERA from ballooning.He has started four games this year, three of them being against postseason contenders last year. Greene cooled off the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays in his most recent start. He pitched three shutout innings, giving up three hits and striking out a batter on Monday.As somebody in his second year in the league, he should only continue to develop and improve. The Reds made a fantastic move by locking down Greene so early.
