PA State Games Preview: Reed Bailey
June 9, 2020
With the PA State Games just a week away, we will begin a series of articles highlighting players in attendance that are representing West Virginia. We start today by highlighting Morgantown LHP, 2022 Reed Bailey. Bailey is currently ranked 9th overall in the 2022 class, and the second ranked left-handed pitcher.
West Virginia Scouting Director Josh Kuykendall on Bailey: "Reed will garner a ton of interest in DuBois. Long, lanky frame with a true buggy-whip action to the plate. As he continues to mature physically expect another velocity jump. Also a very bright student."

Scouting Report
6-foot-2, 170-pound left-hander sat 77-78 from a 3/4 arm slot. Begins delivery with a side rocker step and gets over front side routinely. Also commanded a curveball with 1/7 shape at 65-68 and a slider with later, shorter break at 70-71. Repeats delivery well and has room to continue adding strength to his long, athletic frame.
Reed Bailey had one of the strongest outings of the day and showed a lot of potential. He pitched a complete game for his team and showed his uber loose arm action that can really turn into something big. He was extremely athletic with a low 70s fastball and a solid curveball to mix with it. Reed also had a good day at the plate where he ripped off two hits with an advanced swing that allowed him to hit pitches in both gaps. As he continues to grow and get bigger he could become a big time prospect that could receive some large offers.
