9th: FB (92-95), CB (79), CU (86-87)

• Josh Reddick is a 6-2, 180 pound lefty hitter righty thrower. The 22 year old has a medium frame that can add a lot more muscle everywhere. He is long and lanky and is very skinny. He is straight-up with a straight on stance with hands held a little in front of his back shoulder with a little bat wiggle. His trigger is a double stride (stride in and then strides to hit) and a cocking of the bat. Looks like his swing can get long at times, but is effortless with good bat speed. He shows above average power to all fields now, which is a good sign as he continues to get stronger. Looks like an above average starting corner outfielder, though his swing does have some holes that will need to be corrected as scouting reports get out. Can get over aggressive at times.
