"Greene went 7-4 with a 2.76 ERA, but was limited to a career-low 19 starts and 107⅔ innings last season as Cincinnati earned its first playoff appearance since 2020. His 99.5 mph average four-seam fastball velocity led the major leagues among those throwing at least 1,250 pitches, and his 296 pitches of 100 mph or higher were second in the major leagues behind Mason Miller."
"Greene is entering his fifth big league season. He made the NL All-Star team for the first time in 2024 while going 9-5 with a 2.75 ERA in 26 starts. He also had 169 strikeouts in 150 1/3 innings despite spending time on the IL that year with elbow soreness."
"Greene, 26, left the Reds' spring training camp in Arizona on Wednesday due to elbow stiffness, returned to Cincinnati and underwent imaging in addition to seeing specialists, including Dr. Neal ElAttrache."
Hunter Greene, the Cincinnati Reds' 26-year-old right-handed pitcher, will undergo surgery Wednesday to remove bone chips from his right elbow and is expected to miss until July. Greene left spring training due to elbow stiffness and underwent imaging and specialist consultations. Last season, he posted a 7-4 record with a 2.76 ERA across 19 starts and 107⅔ innings, leading MLB with a 99.5 mph average fastball velocity. His 296 pitches at 100 mph or higher ranked second league-wide. Greene made his first All-Star team in 2024 with a 9-5 record and 2.75 ERA. He added lower-body conditioning this offseason to prevent injuries after two IL stints in 2025.
