Reade had an impressive performance at the 2019 NY Fall Prospect Games. Reade improved his defense measurables with a pop time range of 2.09-2.20. Offensively, Reade had consistent hard contact during the batting practice session at the games. Quick direct path to the baseball and low effort actions. Has upside at the plate. The projectable 6-foot-1, 160 pounds frame is only going to help Reade. The 2022 C is a must follow.
