Jay Green was not ranked in The Game Haus Day 1 Backyard Baseball 2026 tier list because that ranking excluded hidden and unlockable players. His 10/10 batting, 9/10 running, 5/10 pitching and 10/10 fielding give projecting him as a top-tier player once unlocked, but that is an evaluation rather than an official Day 1 placement.
