Reed has a four-pitch mix that he can locate for strikes. Fastball generates swings and misses and weak contact due to above average combination of movement and deception. Curveball inconsistent but showed ability to throws for strikes and bury the pitch. The slider has two-plane movement with late bite and will be his strikeout pitch in the end. Changeup is an afterthought at present but flashed proper arm speed and tumble down in the zone. Despite the funky delivery, Reed repeats it well and shows the ability to fill the strike zone.
