Reeder has always been a 'toolsy' athlete with exciting twitch in his game. As he's continued to develop, the athleticism has steadily improved with his physical maturation. Specifically, his game-changing speed really stands out as a well-above average weapon for him. Clocked a 4.47 with a turn down to first on a single and has been sub 4.0 on a push bunt. As he continues to get more seasoning and play against high level competition, his make-up and work ethic should help him refine his overall game even more and allow that speed to play-up on the offensive side of things. Offensively, while Reeder might be slight of frame at 6-foot, roughly 160-170 pounds, there is wiry strength throughout his build and plenty of bat speed to make him a consistent gap-to-gap threat. His loose, quick hands help him control the barrel and he's shown aptitude for consistently putting the ball in play. Expect Reeder to continually improve and develop into a dynamic offensive threat with the ability to be an above average defender in the OF.
