In the rotation of Cincinnati Reds, the young pitcher is a stable, and Andrew Abbott started the series opener, in a 25 -year -old Hunter Green’s Denver against Colorado Rockies on Saturday afternoon.
Green (2–2, 2.35 ERA) will face Antonio Cenjatela (1-3, 4.81) of Colorado in the right hand battle.
Green has been aggressive in his approach this season. According to the athletic, he has thrown more pitches in a strike zone than any hurler other than the Shota Imnaga of the Chicago cub.
Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson told athletic, “I think she makes her feel fearless in the area, it is still going to give good results.” “All this is like that, we have talked about it anytime – just an increase. He continues to show it.”
Sometimes an aggressive approach backfire. Green had a stretch in which he did not allow a run for 18 2/3 innings before the first two batsmen faced in Baltimore last Saturday. Green wounded five runs and six hits in three innings of 9–5 defeat.
But this effort will not stop him, and his manager has no problem with it.
“If I had his belongings, I would also attack,” Reds manager Terry Frankona recently said.
Green will face Rocky for the fourth time in his career and the third time in the course field. His last three began against him, he is 1–1 with 6.91 ERA, and he is 0–1 with 10.80 ERA in his beginning in Colorado.
Rockies are trying to dig out of a historically poor start that includes a franchise-tie straight road losses. Things are not much better at home, where they fell 3-7 after losing 8-7 to Cincinnati on Friday night.
Cenjethela is one of the two colloids in the beginning to win this season, and came on Sunday in a divided doublehead’s nightcap against Washington National. This was his first win since 2022 and stopped a sweep by Washington.
Senejethela has made five debut against Reds in her career, which is going 2–1 with 5.76 ERA.
Rockies has not given much support to his pitchers, but indications are that Clint Hurdal has captured as a hitting coach last week. He has 32 runs in the last seven matches.
Outfielder Jordan Beck has been one of the catalysts in crime with five domestic runs in the last three matches. This season in just 14 matches, he topped his total in 55 matches in 2024.
Three of those homes came to a doublehead in Canasus City on Thursday. He deepened twice on Friday night, another straight game with two domestic runs.
Rockies manager Bud Black said, “It was good to see Jordan turning on a fastball – something that we have tried to make him aware, and not guessed the pitches.” “All major league hits should be able to hit fastball, as you get terrible quickly (if you can’t). That’s what our young hits are happening in the last month.”
