Craig Reed  
Starting Pitcher | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Reed can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Reed has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Dating back to his days in the minors, Reed has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a quick pickoff move, but sometimes concentrates on pitching so much that he forgets about runners. He gets off the mound fairly quickly and his throws to first are hard. Reed is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Reed has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Grand Rapids Red Dogs have been known to use Reed as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
The Grand Rapids Red Dogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Reed like a hot potato if something better comes along.
