RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Good size and length on the mound. Long arms and legs with broad shoulders. Frame has little room for added size, near full maturity.

Delivery & Mechanics: Repeatable three-quarter slot delivery from the right side. Pitches exclusively from the stretch. Arm action is compact and guided throughout delivery, little noticeable hiccups. Has good command and control.

Fastball: Low-90s offering with good sinking action towards the bottom of the zone. Lacks elite velocity, but forces plenty of soft contact and ground balls. Good late movement and bite. Lacks high velocity, swing-and-miss. Above average fastball thrown well in his repertoire. Grade: 55

Curveball: Mid-70s curveball that shows solid depth. Good 12-6 downward movement to force whiffs. Lacks consistency, stays flat at the letters. Shows potential to be an above average offering. Grade: 50

Slider: Low-80s off-speed pitch that continues to improve. Still behind development to his curveball. Shows good horizontal break, thrown with a bit of downward movement like his curveball. Lacks consistent break. Grade: 45

Changeup: Low-80s changeup that pairs well with his sinking fastball. Good tunneling. Commands it well, thrown with some fade and run. Changeup still struggles to keep shape, stays firm in the zone. Needs more improvement, but has shown to be an effective fourth pitch. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Lacks overpowering stuff in velocity in movement, but makes up for it with tremendous command. Pounds the zone with all four pitches. Spots well armside with his off-speed. Has a good feel for his arsenal. Never seems flustered, gets out of jams with well-placed pitches. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: Green lacks velocity and overpowering stuff, but his command continues to improve with each season. He has a good feel for all four pitches and forces soft contact. Green must force more swings and misses to fulfill a role as a backend starter.
