Shane Reedy

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked St. Louis Cardinals #18 prospect in 2003
  Reedy emerged as a prospect at Utah Valley State, where he worked out of the bullpen and had a 1.31 ERA as a sophomore. He had the organization's best fastball from the moment he signed, after working at 92-95 mph most times in college. In one outing the Cardinals scouted, though, Reedy pitched 11⁄3 innings and didn't throw a pitch below 94 mph, touching 96-97 much of the time. He didn't pitch much after signing as a draft-and-follow because he pulled a ribcage muscle after reporting to extended spring camp in Florida. He was impressive on the side, though, and got into three games late in the season at Johnson City and pitched well even though the muscle bothered him all summer. A hard slider is Reedy's only other pitch at this point, and he'll have a lot of refinements to make. He may work as a starter to get more innings, but Reedy projects as a reliever long-term.
