Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Looks the part. Acts the part. Carries himself well. Mature. Professional. Student of the game. Leader. Tall, sturdy athletic frame. Broad shoulders; well proportioned; above-average strength throughout. Gym rat. Noticeably bulked up in his first off-season and there's still room to continue to fill out and get stronger. Confident; pitchers know he's in the batter's box; wants to be at the plate with the game on the line. Strong prep track record, polish, makeup and instant production as a pro has mitigated some of the risk.
Hit: Slightly open stance; high hands; slightly crouched with a wide base. Quick, strong hands. Impressive plus bat speed. Slight toe tap timing mechanism on load. Very few moving parts; quick direct path to and through the ball. Beautiful fluid swing - free and easy with natural loft. Exceptional bat to ball skills. Advanced approach; shows the ability to make adjustments between at-bats. Solid two strike approach; tracks the ball well; ability to work deep counts. Will occasionally expand on the outer third against quality breaking balls. Handles velocity well inside and up in the zone. Line drive machine during my live looks. Solid all-fields approach; slight pull side tendency. Extremely polished on draft day; has made significant gains with pro instruction. Potential plus hit tool, that could grade even higher in his prime. Grade: 60
Power: Plus raw power, big backspin carry; ability to drive both gaps. Good barrel control. Plus bat speed and natural loft yield impressive loud line drives and deep homers. Power currently plays more as doubles-type power. Predominantly shows pull-side but can drive the ball out to any field in BP. Noticeably bulked up this season and it showed in his increased in-game power. Should unlock plus power easily as he continues to physically mature and refine his game. Grade: 60
Field: Adequate defender. Routes and reads in the outfield are solid average. Athletic, but not a quick twitch player. Relies on reads and closing speed to get to balls deep in the gaps or to make up for the occasional late jump. Looked solid both charging in and going back to get the ball. Future will likely be in a corner spot as speed declines and he fills out physically. Grade: 50
Arm: Has average arm-strength; shows strength and carry; needs to improve accuracy. Enough arm to make all the plays at second-base and enough smarts to hit the cutoff man. Wouldn't be exposed in right-field when he's pushed to a corner, but far from an asset. Better suited for left-field long term. Grade: 45
Run: Touted as fringe-average to borderline below-average on draft day, Greene has shown significantly better over my live looks - solid average. Clocked multiple times at 4.16 to 4.20 down the line. Quick out of the box; lacks a significant second gear but he hustles. Smart baserunner; will take the occasional extra hustle bag. Speed will likely settle to fringe-average later in his career as he physically matures and ages. Shows solid average presently, and it should continue to be for a good while. Grade: 50
Overall: Loud potential plus hit and power anchor the profile. Greene's quick strong hands, plus bat speed, sweet swing and exceptional barrel control yield one of Detroit's best pure hitters. The toolsy 20-year-old runs well and grades solid average in the outfield. A potential role 60 impact first division regular, Greene has middle of the lineup potential and is arguably one of baseball's top 50 prospects.
