Full Scouting Report
Note: Numerical scores are on the conventional 80-point scouting scale, with
the current score first and projected score second.
Body/Mechanics:
Reed has a fairly clean delivery and has done a ton of work on his throwing
motion since setting foot on NWMCC's campus. His pitches seem to come at
hitters quicker than usual thanks to his great height and incredible arm
extension. Has trouble repeating his delivery, which is usually a problem
with bigger pitchers. As a result, he's racked up 72 walks in 137.2 innings
in college, where let's be honest, the competition isn't that impressive.
Will need to iron out the kinks preventing him from repeating his delivery if
he's going to be anything more than frustrating. Reed is a great athlete
considering his large size.
Fastball: 55/65
Reed's fastball sat in the 84-88 mph range coming out of high school; two
years later he sits 92-97 mph; pitch looks even faster due to Reed's height
and arm extension; often struggles to command the pitch in the strike zone.
Curveball: 50/60
Reed's best secondary pitch is his curve; sits 79-83 mph and has great
movement; has been a devastating pitch at NWMCC and has above-average
potential at the professional level; needs to sharpen his command of the
pitch; right now he can survive off getting hitters to chase the pitch, but
he'll need better command of the offering for it to be a credible weapon at
the big league level; began working with a slider this season, but for now
it's a distant fourth offering behind his fastball, curve and changeup.
Changeup: 45/50
Change is his weakest offering; really just added it to his arsenal last
year; not as much movement as you'd like to see; 82-86 mph range; development
of change will be essential if he wants to do anything more than relieve; one
positive is his arm action on the change, it closely resembles his fastball
and he can catch hitters off guard.
Control: 45/55
Control is severely lacking; in addition to 72 walks in less than 140 innings
at NWMCC, Reed also unleashed 13 wild pitches, 11 of which have come this
year, and 15 HBP, 10 of which have come this year; ironing out the rest of
the kinks in his throwing motion should alleviate some of his control issues,
although pitchers who have these kind of issues in college rarely figure them
out in the minors or majors.
Command: 45/55
Command of fastball is average, but other offerings get no higher than a 40
grade; if he doesn't improve command, and I'd say there's a 50-50 shot he
doesn't, he'll be out of pro ball very quickly; hopefully professional-level
coaching will help him.
MLB Player Comparison: Jon Niese
Projection: Ceiling as No. 3 or 4 starter; more likely back-end starter or
middle reliever who shows flashes of dominance.
MLB ETA: 2019
Chances of Signing: 90%
Reed didn't attend Northwest Mississippi Community College for the education.
He went there so he could be draft-eligible faster than if he attended a
Division I school. He'll be extra motivated to sign considering he went
undrafted out of high school.
