Green was one of the better two-way players in the Texas high school ranks in 2010, but he fell in the draft due to signability concerns related to his commitment to Texas Christian. Arizona signed him for an above-slot bonus of $750000 just before the Aug. 16 signing deadline. He was better known as a hitter during his high school career, and would have been a two-way player in college, but professional scouts focused on his fastball. His first action with the Diamondbacks was in instructional league, and he opened a lot of eyes by flashing a mid-90s fastball and displaying a bulldog mentality on the mound. He also throws a hard overhand curveball that has plus potential. Green's delivery will need a lot of work. Though he has no problems throwing strikes, he doesn't do anything easy. With his 6-foot-1 frame and the effort in his delivery, he projacts better as a relief pitcher, but the Diamondbacks will use him as a starter at the outset to get him plenty of innings. One scout who saw Green in instructional league called him a poor man's Brian Wilson. Because he's inexperienced as a pitcher, Green will start the year in extended spring training before launching his pro career with one of the Diamondbacks' short-season teams. --
