Riley Greene Hitting Third On Opening Day
2 years agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is scheduled to hit third in the club's lineup on Opening Day against the Tampa Bay Rays. Green debuted at the age of 21 with five home runs, one stolen base, a .683 OPS, and 98 wRC+ in the 2022 season but expectations are much bigger this time around. The lefty-swinging Greene enjoyed a big spring that saw him hit .308 with four HR, two doubles, a triple, and a .960 OPS across 52 Grapefruit League at-bats. Green routinely hit for plenty of average and power throughout his rise to the big leagues after being taken with the fifth overall pick of the 2019 draft. He could move into the two-hole against righties but will settle into the third spot as the Tigers take on Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan Thursday.
