Reid
Gerjerts

+ An upside infielder with a high ceiling is Reid Gerjerts (Wheeling, 2027. He has an extremely projectable and wiry 6-foot, 159-pound frame, and there appears to be more to come in his left-handed swing. He got it going later in the round, finding a groove while working line-drives to his pull-side. There’s an ease to his operation with little perceived effort, staying flat through the zone with a balanced finish, reaching up to 91 mph for his peak EV. He’s also a 7.09 runner, so we can expect that to improve in the coming years. Above-average defender on the infield with confident hands and fluid footwork, plays with some ease and timing. Quick release from a ¾ slot, can change angles on his throws.
