From the amount we’ve talked about Buddy Reed the last few days, you’d think the outfielder was the Oakland A’s top prospect.
In reality he just clocked in at No. 20 on our Community Prospect List, but three games into the 2021 Cactus League schedule he’s already stolen the show each afternoon.
On Tuesday, Reed’s bat was the top highlight. He launched an opposite-field homer to break a tie in the 7th and final inning, sending the A’s to a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
In the spring opener on Sunday, Reed made headlines on defense with his arm by throwing out a runner at the plate and almost nabbing another at third.
