DJ Reader-Reds first pitch

[*pally*]

Former pitcher for the Clemson University baseball team, DJ Reader, will throw out the first pitch at the Tampa-Reds game next Monday

@Reds if you’re looking for a SU guy I’ve had some really good bullpen sessions lately. Just need more reps. pic.twitter.com/P8wawEL4GE

Nice!
Kelce blew it when he did his! But would have been perfect if they were playing Cricket

[Clark W Griswold]

Wow I would not charge the mound even if that guy threw 4 straight right past my head.
Just say “thank you sir” and run to first base!

Most likely what Robin Ventura should have done when Nolan Ryan hit him 

[Brownshoe]

I felt that pitch at my place

Extend this guy for 2 more years please...

Kind of doubt too many major leaguers would be exactly standing in line to charge the mound with DJ standing out there.. Most would probably say, "Thanks for almost hitting me in the head four times in a row.."

He can't be any worse than the RPs the Reds got right now.
Reds would have another 3-4 wins if it wasn't for the crappy bullpen.
Holy moly.

I think he's good as gone after the upcoming season if they plan on extending Logan Wilson and keeping the three amigos together.

DJ Reader has a really good arm! That ball had some heat on it!

Agreed.  DJ was probably the most impactful single FA signing the Bengals made in this most recent overhaul.  I would love to see him stay in Cincinnati.

That's a lot of mass moving forward to propel it. Lol

DJ didn't put quite as much heat on it for the real thing:




But he did bring help in case anyone charged the mound:
