Mark Reed (baseball)
Mark Reed is an American former professional baseball player and the current bullpen catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball.Career
Reed was originally drafted in the third round in the 2004 MLB draft by the Chicago Cubs out of Bonita High School.
Scouts originally compared Reed to Mike Lieberthal. Reed used an open stance and an aggressive approach at plate, which, when combined with his quick bat, led to hard contact. His older brother, Jeremy Reed, played in the Chicago White Sox organization.
After the 2011 season, Reed decided to test the minor league free agent market and joined the Diamondbacks A-Ball affiliate. A hand injury and crowded depth chart at the catcher position slowed things down once again. After an injury to Jeff Motuzas, the Diamondbacks’ longtime bullpen catcher, Reed was called up to serve as the Diamondbacks' bullpen catcher.
