Cincinnati Reds top prospect Hunter Greene promoted to Triple-A

Cincinnati Reds top prospect Hunter Greene is moving one step closer to the big leagues. 

Greene, a 21-year-old right-hander, will make his next start for Triple-A Louisville after his dominant start to the minor league season, a source told The Enquirer. Louisville will play a road series in Omaha next week before returning for a homestand on June 22. 

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart (16) visits starting pitcher Hunter Greene (79) at the mound after giving up a three-run home run to Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias (4) in the first inning of the MLB Cactus League Spring Training game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Los Angeles Angels at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Ariz., on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.

In seven starts at Double-A Chattanooga, Greene posted a 5-0 record and 1.98 ERA through seven starts. He struck out 60 batters in 41 innings while walking 14. 

"Wanted to thank everyone in Chattanooga for a great experience and taking care of me," Greene wrote on Twitter on Sunday morning. "Great food, great people and a great city."
