Hunter Greene has been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery for a little over a year now, and Cincinnati Reds fans are hoping the feat he pulled off on Sunday is a sign of things to come.
Green shared a video on Twitter that showed him throwing a pitch through the window of a moving car and out the other side. Don’t worry, there was no one driving. The vehicle was a self-driving Tesla. Check it out:

It’s unclear how many attempts that took, but it was impressive nonetheless.
Greene, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, underwent Tommy John surgery last year. He had shaky stats in his first two minor league seasons before being shut down due to the elbow injury, but he has showcased some incredible velocity. Throwing a ball through a moving car window may not have much to do with getting back to actual baseball, but it’s good to see the 20-year-old looking on point.
