There probably aren't many Spring Training pitches that Hunter Greene has regretted throwing more than the one he did Tuesday.

As Sam Greene of the Cincinnati Enquirer shared, Cincinnati Reds star Elly De La Cruz fouled a pitch off Greene during Tuesday's practice. In an incredibly unfortunate twist for the pitcher, it ended up hitting and breaking his car window:

Greene might think twice about parking in the same spot in the players' lot in the future.

This happened as the Reds prepare for the upcoming season with high expectations in part because of the presence of young players such as De La Cruz and Greene. Cincinnati improved from 62-100 in 2022 to 82-80 in 2023 and surely has postseason-or-bust thoughts heading into 2024.

De La Cruz's ability to build on his rookie season that saw him slash .235/.300/.410 with 13 home runs, 44 RBI and 35 stolen bases will be key in those efforts, as will Greene's ability to improve on his 4.82 ERA from last year.

In a perfect world for the Reds, they will still be laughing about Tuesday's foul ball as they prepare for October baseball.
