Reed Garrett

Reed Garrett is one of those journeyman relievers who's quietly put together a career that most pitching prospects would envy. A Virginia kid out of Henrico, he made his MLB debut with the Detroit Tigers in 2019 after working his way through the minors, and since then he's bounced through the Nationals, Orioles, even a stint in Japan's NPB with the Saitama Seibu Lions — which honestly takes guts, picking up and playing in a completely different baseball culture. He eventually landed with the New York Mets, and that's no small thing. He's not a household name and probably never will be, but I have real respect for guys who keep grinding, adapt to whatever role a bullpen needs, and figure out how to compete at the highest level across multiple organizations and even multiple countries.
