Carlson Reed is packing up his bags, as he will be receiving a promotion to High A Greensboro, this according to Bradenton Marauders broadcaster Thomas Zinzarella.
Reed was taken by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. The former WVU product signed with the Bucs for $600,000.
After getting drafted, Reed pitched in the Florida Complex League. He saw limited action, as he threw just seven innings, to a 2.57 ERA.
Reed was given a chance to be a full-time starter this season, and has not disappointed. The 21-year-old righty made 17 starts for Bradenton, posting the second lowest ERA in the Florida State League at 2.43, while striking out 96 batters in 77.2 innings of work (11.1 K/9).
Among all Pirates’ minor league pitchers in 2024, Reed has registered the best ground ball rate at 55.7%.
