Undrafted out of his Texas high school, Reed spent a year at Navarro (Texas) JC before enrolling at Oklahoma State. Reed made just five starts in 63 appearances as a collegian but his future could be in a rotation. A versatile part of the Cowboys' bullpen--he helped set up for closer Koda Glover in 2015--Reed struck out 44 in 35 innings in 2016. OSU coaches leaned on Reed early in the season, which caused his velocity to drop a tick during the season, when he was sitting 90-92 with his fastball and touching 94. But after he was drafted by the Marlins, the big-bodied righthander was up to 97 mph at short-season Batavia. The country-strong Texan also has pitchability with a four-pitch mix that makes starting him a possibility. He was primarily a fastball/slider pitcher, but he just began throwing a curveball last year and it might already be his best pitch. His changeup needs more repetitions to be usable. Even at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, Reed has room to grow. He's a strike-thrower who always wants the ball with a loose, easy and clean arm action and delivery. Expect him to earn a spot in low Class A Greensboro's rotation.
