Hunter Greene Improves Pitch Mix Over the Offseason, Primed for Breakout Season?
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene added a two-seam fastball and feels he improved his splitter over the offseason, per Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati. The 26-year-old reaffirmed his status as one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2025, posting a 7-4 record with a 2.76 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 132 strikeouts across 107 2/3 innings (19 starts). Greene missed significant time due to right groin strains that required two separate stints on the Injured List, the second of which forced him to miss over two months. However, the right-hander finished the year on the mound for Cincinnati and appears to be fully healthy heading into 2026 Spring Training. In 2025, Greene lowered his walk rate to a career-best 6.2% while also upping his strikeout rate to a career-best 31.4%. If his new pitch mix helps him unlock even more answers, Greene could emerge as a truly elite fantasy SP1 in 2026.
