AJ Reed

[CatsFanGG24]

Retired. Top notch college career.

Just couldn't get things to translate at the highest level. Had an excellent AAA career, and won the HR title for AAA twice I believe. He broke the single season record for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies in 2017.

I actually think he put on some bad weight at one point and that hurt him. He was the slowest DH in the MLB, so I think playing in the AL hurt him as well.

Being drafted by Houston didnt help AJ in any means. He was always in a log jam as a first baseman.

Thoughts on maybe he comes out gets in much better shape and tries out with a different organization? He's only 26. Mind boggling how good this kid was in college and AAA and not be able to take that next step.

Its highly unlikely. At 26, its hard to start over and break into the league.
