Kentucky standout right-handed pitcher Scott Green has been named the sixth best prospect in the Cape Cod Collegiate Summer Baseball League, as announced by Baseball America.
Green, a 6-foot-8, 245-pound junior dominated Cape hitters while teaming with fellow UK teammate Collin Cowgill to lead the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox to 31 wins and its second consecutive league championship. Green, a native of Louisville, Ky., appeared in nine games for the Red Sox, starting eight. In 40 1/3 innings, Green totaled an impressive 1.56 ERA and a 3-1 record. The fireballer struck out 35 and walked only nine, allowing just 31 hits and only seven earned runs. In his one appearance out of the bullpen, Green notched a save.
Green came to UK’s campus as a highly-touted high school pitcher, turning down MLB Draft overtures out of Male High School. In his first season with the Wildcats, Green served a myriad of roles, appearing in 18 games, registering seven starts. Green sat out the 2006 Southeastern Conference Championship season after undergoing Tommy Johns surgery and returned to the Wildcat staff in a limited role in 2007, appearing in just nine games and totaling 17 2/3 innings. Despite just pitching in 17 innings last year, Green was drafted in the 15th-round of the 2007 MLB Draft by the Boston Red Sox, whose scouts watched Green dominate the Cape Cod League throughout the summer.
