Has there been a better overall player in the past decade than AJ Reed?

So far this year, this is what this fricking guy has done for UK.

Pitching: 90 IP, 9-2, 2.30 ERA, 80 hits, 63 SOs, 25 walks

Hitting: .360 BA, 12 2B, 1 3B, 21 HR, 63 RBI, .491 OBP, .800 slugging

Freshman All SEC in '12, All-SEC in '13, Lock for consensus AA this year, and I have no desire to count his player of the week awards.

I mean... frick. Don't know what else to say.

Love him. He won't pitch in the big leagues but his bat is absurd.

Hate that Hendo doesn't have shite for a pitching rotation behind him. UK would be pretty salty if they did.

ETA: And I'm as surprised as anyone that he's that good this season. He was good before but I thought Cousino would blow up instead.

21 home runs with these bats is insane...although isnt he a Left hand hitter and UK's right field fence super short?

Either way, the guy could play whatever in MLB

Stephen Head and Danny Hultzen come to mind... AJ is an unbelievable baseball player though.

No ... the kid is unreal. Best all-around baseball player I've seen in this league in a long long time.
