Chad Keith Green (born May 24, 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Early life
Green was born in Greenville, South Carolina.[1] His parents are Howard and Sheena Green.[2] He has a twin brother (Chase; who played shortstop for Southern Illinois University), an older sister (Lynsie), and an older brother (Blake).[2]
Green was a three-time All-Conference selection, a two-time All-Area honoree and was an All-State selection as a senior for Effingham High School in Effingham, Illinois.[2] Green was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 37th round of the 2010 MLB draft from high school.
He went to college and played college baseball at University of Louisville.[3][1] He left as the school record holder in career ERA, at 2.38.[2]
Career
He was then drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 11th round of the 2013 MLB draft.[4]
On December 9, 2015 the Tigers traded Green and Luis Cessa to the New York Yankees for Justin Wilson.[5] He received a non-roster spring training invitation on February 5, 2016.
Green was called up to the Major Leagues on May 14, 2016.[6] He made his major league debut on May 16.[7] After being called up as a reliever, the Yankees shifted Green to the rotation. After four starts, the Yankees shut down Green for the season after Green suffered a sprained elbow ligament.[8] Green would finish the season with a 2-4 record in 12 games with 52 strikeouts.
