Green

Committed to Louisville ... Over the last two years, Green has gone from a relatively unknown prospect to one of the most intriguing potential draft picks in the Class of 2010. Green's rapid ascension isn't surprising given his natural athleticism, pitchability and arm. As a junior, Green proved to be one of the state's most dominant pitchers, as the right-hander posted a 9-1 record with a 1.85 ERA and 2 shutouts. Behind an 87-91 mph fastball and solid breaking ball, Green fanned 98 in 68 innings pitched while leading Effingham to the Apollo Conference title, along with his twin brother, Chase, a shortstop who's committed to SIU-Edwardsville. Green's star continued to rise in the fall, as he was dominant in several big tournaments. As good of a pitcher as he is, many believe the left-handed hitting Green has the ability to be an impact position player at the next level as well.
