Addison Reed is probably going to find his way as a big and durable right-handed closer who can get on top of the ball and throw it down at 94-96. He was a starter in 2010 for San Diego State, where he had to learn to pace himself. The first time I saw him was in 2009 as a closer when he came in for that guy who now plays for ESPN.

Addison Reed was a closer as a sophomore at San Diego State and a starter this season. After he signs, don’t be surprised to see him fast-tracked as bullpen help. If Drew Storen can go from Stanford to the big leagues in under a year, so can Reed.

This was a meeting of Friday night starters at different stages of their pitching lives. In San Diego State’s Addison Reed, you have a junior who is learning to stretch himself out from closing to starting and showing he knows how to pitch in the process. In Kentucky’s Alex Meyer, you have a young right-hander with a big arm who is chucking and ducking at this stage of his.

The Baseball Beginnings pre-draft 2010 college list isn’t made up of Boras Babies and Baseball America Beauties. Instead, we go by the players we have seen in person on the Cape or out West here in California. This list is being published in September 2009, eight full months before the June 2010 MLB Draft. As we stated in our high school lists for pitchers, infielders, outfielders and catchers, our college lists are not meant to be taken as definitive this early in the process. Don’t live or die by anything this early, as some guys will sink and some will swim. If you want hype, well, I’m not your kind of scout. As we say here at Baseball Beginnings, the players will rank themselves.
