Scouting Report

Assets
  • Reitsma has a powerful fastball in the low-90s and adds good control over his off-speed stuff. Can hold back the offense with runners in scoring position.
Flaws
  • Left-handed hitters pound him and, as a reliever, tends to need a couple of days rest to be most effective.
Career Potential
  • A reliable middle-to-late reliever.
