Reds pitcher Hunter Greene referenced the poem “See It Through” by Edgar Albert Guest in his written note to 80 MLB DREAM Series participants in Tempe, Ariz., this week. The DREAM Series is one of MLB’s many baseball development experiences designed to diversify the talent pool of MLB players, specifically pitchers and catchers. Greene participated himself in 2017.
“There’s a whole bunch of stuff in the letter that I hope resonates with them,” Greene said. “But I added my favorite poem at the end, and it’s about seeing it through and you’re facing what other men have met, so just because you’re going through something and you’re struggling, there’s other people that have gone through the same thing. They persevered so you can see. So that’s the theme, that’s the message and hopefully they understand when they can apply it.”
Greene hosted all of this year’s DREAM Series participants at his house in Mesa, Ariz., after the first day of the event, treating players to a taco food truck in his backyard and MLB: The Show in his living room. He also gifted the participants with a pair of Nike cleats.
