Reid Detmers joined a very exclusive list Wednesday evening as the sixth Louisville Cardinal selected in the first round of the MLB Draft. Detmers joins Brendan McKay (2017), Corey Ray (2016), Zack Burdi (2016), Will Smith (2016), and Kyle Funkhouser (2015) on the list that is sure to grow over the years. The slot value for the 10th pick in this years draft is $4,739,900. Not a bad day to be a part of the Detmers family.
Take a look at Reid's stats during his time at Louisville. It's a shame his junior season was cut short, he was putting up some filthy numbers, striking out 19.6 per nine innings(!)
Detmers curveball has been named the best pitch of any pitcher in this years draft. Here's why:
D1 Baseball went on to say that Reid is "a close-to-the-big-leagues" pitcher and it shouldn't take him long to step foot on a major league mound. We have been lucky to watch him develop over the years and blossom into one of the best pitchers in the country.
Reid, I think I can speak for all of Card Nation when I say "Thank you and good luck."
