Get used to hearing the name Hunter Greene.
Greene is entering his senior season at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif. and is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft this spring.
A varsity starter since his freshman season, Greene can throw in the upper-90s as a pitcher, and also has great power as a hitter. There are mixed opinions about whether he will be a pitcher or position player as a pro, and this video showing his incredible athleticism help explains why:

Greene is a member of USA Baseball and a UCLA commit, though he is unlikely to go to college.
As a junior at Notre Dame last season — the same school that produced Giancarlo Stanton and Jack McDowell among others — Greene batted .419 with 9 doubles, 4 triples and five home runs. As a pitcher, he had a 1.63 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 55.2 innings, per MaxPreps.
Not only is he a stud pitcher who can throw 97 mph, but he also won the home run derby at the Perfect Game All American Classic. The Minnesota Twins will be getting a good one if they make the right decision and draft Greene.
