I didn't like Reed as a prospect when he was with us. His swing just wasn't very fast-twitched and there wasn't any pop in that bat. His speed was above-average, but he wasn't a burner. When you're cheating on fastballs as a 23 year old then theres a problem.
Ackley's swing puts Reed's to shame. He has a much quicker bat, more power, more speed, and much better performances at his stage of development.
Ackley's senior year: .417/.517/.763
Reed's senior year: .339/.431/.477
