Former Kentucky Baseball star and the 2014 unanimous national player of the year A.J. Reed has announced his retirement from baseball.
Here is the report from NBC Sports Chicago:
A.J. Reed, the one-time slugging prospect who made his way to the White Sox last season, retired earlier this month.
The news went unnoticed by many, though there it is on the International League’s transactions page: Reed, a second-round draft pick in 2014, retired on March 4. He’s 26 years old.
The White Sox picked Reed up on a waiver claim midway through last season, taking a flier on a guy who had no trouble racking up home runs in the minor leagues.
