Hunter Greene shut out of NL rookie award, but might wind up being best to debut in 2022

Hunter Greene didn't get a vote for the 2022 National League Rookie of the Year. Greene finished his debut season with a 4.44 ERA in 24 starts. Michael Harris II and Spencer Strider finished 1-2 in the NL Rookie Of The Year voting. Brendan Donovan won the first-ever Gold Glove for a utility player. The voting is about what the players did in 2022. It's not about who will be the best player, it's about "Who was the most consistent?"

Hunter Greene was drafted by the Reds in 2017. He's 22 years old and has been a professional for six seasons. Greene had Tommy John surgery in April 2019 and missed the entire season. His last four starts were good for the team. He was injured for a month and a half in August and September. The Reds are excited about his future. They think he'll be a star in the future and he's going to be the NL Rookie of the Year in 2022. It's important for him to finish the season well. For the players, it's also important to stay healthy going into the offseason. If they don't, they won't be able to pitch for seven months.
