Greene is off to a solid start to the season, slashing .263/.372/.388 with one home run and 14 RBI. The 25-year-old is taking a far more cautious approach this season, cutting his swing rate by 10 percent, chasing outside of the zone six percent less, and improving his contact rate by seven percent. As of now, his strikeout rate would be a career low, and his walk rate would be a career high. This approach change could lead to a decrease in home run numbers, but Greene still has a 49 percent hard-hit rate, so he continues to do damage when he does make contact.

Greene is now 1-for-2 stealing bases this year after going 2-for-3 in 157 games last year. His exit velocity numbers have been down to start the season, but he’s made nice strides with his strikeout rate while also showing even more bat speed than usual. In spite of the slow start — the homer today was his first of the year — his fantasy stock is up a bit.

After leaving the season-opening series against the Padres with just one hit, Greene has mustered six hits in his last four games, adding four RBI and three runs scored. The ball hasn’t gone over the fence yet, but Greene’s double was the hardest-hit ball of the game (111 mph off the bat) and he added a 409-foot flyout against Gordon Graceffo in the ninth that would have been a homer in 11-of-30 parks. Greene looks just fine to us.

Riley Greene hit a fly ball to left field that went over the fence, but somehow has no Statcast information whatsoever in a game that was also not broadcast on television. Regardless, we can assure you that he did hit a home run off Sonny Gray, and it was his first of the spring. Greene has talked about making a concerted effort to cut down on his strikeouts this season, and he has five in 21 plate appearances this spring, which is a clear improvement from what we saw last year. Now we need to see him carry that over into regular-season action.

He’s just 1-for-7 (.143) to open the spring, though it comes with an encouraging 1/3 K/BB ratio through his first four games.

Greene would be an interesting choice; he was invited to play for Puerto Rico in the tournament but decided to turn down the opportunity. Given that Team USA has Aaron Judge in right and Byron Buxton and Pete Crow-Armstong in center, replacing Carroll with a natural left fielder makes sense. Anthony might be the most fun option, but Kwan would make a lot of sense with his contact ability and plus defense.

That’s a very reasonable price for a 25-year-old All-Star. Greene hit .258/.313/.493 in 655 plate appearances in 2025 with 36 home runs and 111 RBI. That’s even more impressive considering he led the league with 201 strikeouts. He clearly decided to trade off some contact for power in 2025, so it remains to be seen if he’ll make that same trade-off next year, but his raw abilities give him plenty of fantasy upside.
