Career

Greene attended Atlantic Coast High School and St. Johns River State College. He was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 15th round of the 2018 MLB Draft.[1] Instead of signing, he transferred to the University of South Alabama,[2] where he was named a second-team All-American.

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees selected Greene in the eighth round, 255th overall, in the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[3] He split his first professional season between the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Yankees and Low-A Staten Island Yankees. Greene did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Greene returned to action in 2021 with the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades and Double-A Somerset Patriots. In 34 appearances split between the two affiliates, he accumulated a 4-7 record and 3.17 ERA with 91 strikeouts and three saves across 59+2⁄3 innings pitched.[5] Greene made 48 appearances for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders during the 2022 season, posting a 9-0 record and 3.42 ERA with 96 strikeouts across 68+1⁄3 innings pitched.[6]

On December 7, 2022, the New York Mets selected Greene from the Yankees in the Rule 5 draft.[7] On March 12, 2023, Greene was removed from the 40-man roster and placed on outright waivers.[8] Greene was returned to the Yankees organization on March 14.[9] He would spend the season with Scranton and the rookie-level Florida Complex League Yankees, registering a combined 2-1 record and 5.51 ERA with 31 strikeouts and two saves across 32+2⁄3 innings pitched.[10]

Greene missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign due to an injury.[11] He made two scoreless appearances for Double-A Somerset in 2025, logging two strikeouts over 1+2⁄3 innings. Greene was released by the Yankees organization on April 18, 2025.[12]

Piratas de Campeche

On May 20, 2025, Greene signed with the Piratas de Campeche of the Mexican League.[13] In six appearances for Campeche, he struggled to a 22.09 ERA with four strikeouts across 3+2⁄3 innings pitched. Greene was released by the Piratas on June 6.[14]
