Buddy Reed’s Scouting Report
Reed is a very athletic switch hitter with plus speed and defensive skills. Reed struggled at the plate in his junior year, but his athletic ability is too good for most teams to pass up. He has ability to make contact from both the left side and right side of the plate, but his approach at the plate needs work. Reed looks like a future gold glove winner in center field.
Strengths
- Elite speed, could potentially steal 30-plus bases a season
- Plus arm
- Plus glove
- Has above average contact potential
Weaknesses
- Needs to improve his plate approach
- Needs to improve his hitting mechanics
