Kurtis Reid, SS, Hamilton, 2021

PBR: Why did you choose Louisville?
Reid: Louisville was one of my dream schools.  It is an historic program and it is close enough to home that my family can come watch me play.  They also put a big emphasis on the academic part of the college experience.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?
Reid: I had a list of five dream schools.  Louisville was on that list so it's like a dream come true.

PBR:  Where did Louisville first see you compete?
Reid: I am not sure of the first time but I do know they were at the Top Prospect games and a few other games as well.  They said it has been in the making for close to a year.

PBR: Was the recruiting process what you expected?
Reid: My visit to Louisville was everything I expected and then some.

PBR: You are going into high school this fall, how important was it to make you college decision so early?  Are you finished with the recruiting process?
Reid: I don't know how important it is to commit so early but Louisville felt like home to me and that is where my heart is.

PBR: Who has had the biggest impact on you as a baseball player?
Reid: I would say my Dad.  He has been around baseball his entire life and he has helped me along the way to strive to get better.  Also, I must mention my Mom because she is my biggest fan.

PBR:  Who do you play for in the summer and what is your favorite memorable moment?
Reid: Cincinnati Spikes.  My most memorable moment is beating Five Star Baseball out of Georgia in the Lake Point Memorial Day Tournament.

PBR:  Who is the best hitter that you have ever faced?
Reid:  I have faced a number of good hitters over the last couple of years but I cannot recall specific names.
