Scouting Report

6/13/17 - Max FB: 86, FB: 82-86, CB: 71-73, CH: 74, 
6-foot-4, 180-pound, RHP is yet another prospect from the Top Prospect Games that continues to show improvement every time we see him.  Reed already possesses the size and athleticism to become something special, while starting to bring that sharpness to the mound.  Reed throws strictly out of the stretch, in order to stay simple and produce repeatable mechanics.  A long arm action comes through a high ¾ to over-the top release point with intent.  Fastball is heavy and shows some run and sink, especially when kept down.  Curveball has 12/6 shape and can be hard to square up.
