The White Sox win, 3-1 MLB.COM Reds take star HS RHP Greene at No. 2 By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | 3:33 AM ET + 100 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- Pitcher Hunter Greene was arguably the best prospect available in the 2017 Draft, and with the No. 2 overall selection Monday, the Reds selected him out of Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Ranked by MLBPipeline.com as the No. 1 Draft prospect in the class, the right-handed Greene has a fastball that has shown 102 mph on the radar gun. He is already a national phenomenon, and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated earlier this spring. "I spent the last couple of months worrying that we weren't picking high enough to get him," Reds general manager Dick Williams said. "I'm really thrilled that we were able to get him at No. 2." • Reds' 32nd overall: Jeter Downs • Reds' 38th overall: Stuart Fairchild Greene attended the Draft at MLB Network studios and did not have to waste a moment to put on a Reds jersey and cap while meeting MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. "This is just a once-in-a-lifetime experience where I get to go out and start my career and have a blast with a great ballclub and a great group of guys," Greene said. The Reds selected Greene as a pitcher, but he's also a shortstop and could be a rare dynamic two-way player.
