In 2016 he finished out the year with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in the Eastern League. That’s the Jays AA affiliate. During that season he managed a respectable 6-5 record. He had one complete-game shutout.

Greene has good control. Toronto has done a nice job of not rushing him and now he’s got a great foundation under him throwing all those innings by the time he was 21. That’s how you do it in today’s game.

The California native has a solid mid 90’s fastball that can be dialed up to 98 MPH. He has a celebrity friend in Charlie Sheen and he has done some modeling and acting so far. He won’t be sneaking up on anybody next season.
