View Draft Report
At 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, Green has a quick arm and has pumped his fastball as high as 95 mph this spring for Indian Hills, making him the best pro prospect this year in Iowa's junior colleges. His fastball does tend to straighten out at that point. A Colorado prep product who was a 35th-round pick in 2013 of the Yankees, Green only pitched 34 innings this spring, so they didn't see many 95s. They did see a lot of average fastballs with an average curveball. Green's arm action is clean but he likely needs more strength to maintain his delivery and stuff at a higher quality for a longer duration.
