Shane Greene said he is no longer actively training to pitch. The 10-year MLB veteran made the comment on Adam Ottavino's "Baseball & Coffee Conversations" podcast. "We’re not using the R word yet," Greene said.
Forbes reported that Greene reached the majors with the Yankees four years after they selected him in the 15th round of the 2010 draft. He had undergone Tommy John surgery before beginning his professional career and threw 94 mph at a pre-draft workout.
Greene appeared in one game for the Yankees in 2022 after Michael King suffered a season-ending injury. He also pitched for the Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs before leaving affiliated baseball and pitching in the Mexican League earlier in the 2026 season.
As a high school senior Greene received interest from two colleges and a scholarship offer from the University of West Florida.
He was selected to the MLB All-Star game during his career.
