‘The wrong pitch’
Tarik Skubal described Greene similarly earlier this week. The Tigers’ ace was talking about how he likes to pick the brains of hitters, to see what they see, what a pitch might look like from their perspective. It helps him shape his pitches.
But not Greene. Skubal asked him once.
“Hey, what pitch was that?”
“And (he gave me) the wrong pitch … and that was on a home run," Skubal said. "When you’re really talented the game becomes simple and you just see ball, hit ball. And he’s one of those guys where the game is really simple.”

So, there he was in the batter’s box, late in the game, his favorite place to be. His Detroit Tigers had just blown a four-run lead and now here was Riley Greene, stepping to the plate, a runner on first with no outs and a pitcher on the mound who’d been dominating lefties this season.
Pressure?
Nah. This was fun. He was in no rush. But then Greene rarely is, not with a bat in his hands, anyway. And so, he took the first pitch from Kyle Leahy and hardly budged.
