Austin Reynolds Signs with Columbia State Baseball
Athlete Information
- C/RHP Austin Reynolds Smyrna, TN
- Blackman High School
- 3.3 GPA
My Comment: Austin is one of the best players in middle Tennessee. He is a fiery competitor who will complement our program's mentality. Austin should be able to contribute not only as a strong arm catcher(timed 1.84 at ToppTenn Showcase) but may also see some relief innings on the mound. To go along with his offensive and defensive prowess, Reynolds displays a 84-86 mph fastball with a solid breaking pitch.
Fun Facts: Austin will join former Blackman standout Will Snider who is a member of the 2013-2014 team.
