Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 40 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40

Reid pitched just 19 1/3 innings in two seasons at Oklahoma State, prompting his decision to transfer to Abilene Christian. He became the Wildcats' Friday starter this spring and set the program's NCAA Division I record with 112 strikeouts in 88 1/3 innings. After allowing just one run in his final three starts, including seven shutout innings with 12 whiffs against Utah Valley in the Western Athletic Conference tournament, he should become Abilene Christian's highest Draft pick since 1969 third-rounder Bill Gilbreth -- the lone big leaguer in school history.

Reid does a nice job of moving his running fastball around the strike zone, working at 91-94 mph and reaching 96 with the ability to get carry at the letters or sink at the knees. He throws his best pitch, an 82-84 mph changeup with fade and sink, nearly as much as his heater and will double and triple up on it, even against right-handers. He led all NCAA Division I pitchers with 66 strikeouts via the cambio. He doesn't have nearly as much trust in a slurvy low-80s breaking ball that rarely fools hitters.

With a strong 6-foot-3 frame and an athletic delivery that he repeats well, Reid provides consistent strikes. His fastball can catch too much of the plate at times, so he needs to command his heater to set up his changeup and find success. He'll probably need to come up with a better breaker to remain in the rotation at the next level.

After working just 19 1/3 innings in two seasons at Oklahoma State, Reid transferred to Abilene Christian and set the program's NCAA Division I record with 112 strikeouts in 88 1/3 innings last spring. He allowed only one run in his final starts, including seven shutout frames with 12 whiffs against Utah Valley in the Western Athletic Conference tournament, and worked his way into the third round of the 2025 Draft. He signed for a below-slot $649,125 as the Wildcats' highest selection since 1969 third-rounder Bill Gilbreth, the long big league in school history. 

Reid led all NCAA D-I pitchers with 66 strikeouts via a changeup. His plus cambio operates at 82-84 mph with fade and sink, and he'll double and triple up on it, even against same-side hitters. He sets it up with a 91-94 mph fastball that touches 96, and he can create carry at the letters or sink at the knees. He's mainly a two-pitch guy, showing little faith in a slurvy low-80s breaking ball that doesn't fool hitters.

Reid has a strong 6-foot-3 build that lends itself to durability and an athletic delivery that he repeats well and translates into regular strikes. His fastball doesn't overpower hitters and can catch too much of the plate, so he needs to command it well to set up his changeup. Set to make his pro debut in 2026, he probably will need a better breaker to remain a long-term starter as a pro.
