Jackson Reardon brings size, contact upside, and a freshman bat still finding its ceiling
Reardon is a 6-foot-3 freshman INF for Cincinnati who arrived with a strong prep résumé, including first-team all-state honors and regional player of the year after hitting .463 with extra-base power. In the 2026 season, he has hit .188 with a .261 on-base percentage for the Bearcats, so the current production is modest, but his profile still points to a physical infielder with projection, middle-infield experience, and enough bat-to-ball ability to matter. He looks like a developmental fit for a team willing to bet on upside, size, and growth rather than instant impact.
