Reid made his major league debut in 2013, where he posted a 1.64 ERA in 11 innings of work. He spent most of the year in Triple-A, however, posting a 2.73 ERA in 59 1/3 innings pitched.
Reid was originally drafted by Tampa Bay in 2006, and remained with the organization until 2012. He then inked a deal with Pittsburgh.
The right-hander has a combined 3.87 ERA in 308 career minor league games.
This has the potential to be a very solid signing by the Mets here. They are taking a good approach in building this bullpen, as they are adding players that they hope will catch lightning in a bottle. Reid presents a no-risk, potential high-reward player, and should be given every opportunity to make the team out of camp.
His minor league numbers demonstrate good strikeout numbers, but his walk ratio (career 3.7 BB/9) may show a little of a control problem. Either way, this seems to be a nice addition to the team, and considering all he needs is a roster spot, there is really no danger in bringing him in the mix.
