January 30, 2013
By Chris Fuller
Kentucky Scouting Director
The 11th annual Super 60 Pro Showcase is set for Sunday, Feb. 3 at the Max-McCook’s 125,000 square-foot open turf facility in McCook, IL. . Once again, the event’s roster is loaded with the top draft-eligible prospects within the Prep Baseball Report’s eight-state coverage area. PBR began operations in Kentucky in September of 2012 and for the first time in the event's history, Kentucky players will be represented, performing for scouts from every Major League Baseball organization.
Today we take a look at one of the Kentucky players making the trip to Chicago to showcase his abilities at the Super 60.
Hunter Green, LHP, Class of 2013, Warren East HS
Green is a 6-foot-4, 160-pound LHP with as much upside as any arm in the game. Long and extremely loose, Green’s arm works with such fluidity that it’s easy to see that his 88-90 mph fastball will continue to climb in the coming years. When he needs a little more, Green runs the fastball up to 92 mph. He also throws an 84 mph cutter, 73 mph curveball and a changeup, all from a 3/4 arm slot. Green, who’s committed to Kentucky, is the No. 1 ranked player in Kentucky's Class of 2013, and the No. 2 ranked player in the PBR combined rankings.
