Greenberg’s speed was used as a weapon offensively and defensively, and he was a big part of the Slammers Asnicar run to the final game. High-waisted at 5-foot-11, 150-pounds, the right-hander has a simple approach starting from an athletic base and rocking his weight back as the hands work down and back from the ear. He utilizes fast hands to work the barrel flat through the zone, and found some hard contact throughout the weekend, and was a threat on the base paths. Greenberg is aggressive in the outfield with a quick first step, and was able to cover an impressive amount of ground to both sides. His raw athleticism should help him progress in the future, especially as he continues to get more in-game at-bats against high-level pitching.

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 150 pounds. Greenberg had a chance to start for Colorado Academy this spring, and was one of their leading hitters batting .348 with 5 doubles and 21 RBIs. Greenberg has an advanced hitting approach at the plate. Medium size frame still has room to grow. At the plate has a tall, balanced stance. Swing slightly uphill with pull-side tendencies. Strong arm from the OF that plays at 80 mph.
