Hunter Greene Creates Unforgettable Moment for Reds Fan at Redsfest

This is awesome.

During Hunter Greene's Q+A session with about 100 people at Redsfest over the weekend, he made a kid's day.

According to Reds fan John Kaelin, the kid asked Greene how to throw a slider. Instead of just answering the question, the Reds' ace called the kid up on stage and proceeded to spend the next five minutes with him, showing him how to grip the pitch.

When another kid asked a question, Greene told the youngster that if he shows up early to a game this year, he can come down on the field and plat catch with Greene.

These two stories are what makes Redsfest such a great event for fans and it shows what kind of person Greene is.

The Reds announced that 21,743 people attended Redsfest this past weekend.

Greene was fantastic in 2025 when he was healthy. He made 19 starts with an ERA of 2.76, a WHIP of 0.938, and struck out 132 batters over 107 2/3 innings.
