Horst With No Name Reds New Bullpen Member


Jeremy Horst

Jeremy Horst was born 25 years ago in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  There have been 12 other natives of that state that played in the major leagues.  The only other native of Wyoming to play and pitch for the Cincinnati Reds is Tom Browning.

Horst was placed on the Reds roster to fill the need for a second lefthander in the bullpen.

He takes Darryl Thompson's roster spot.  Thompson was sent back to Carolina last night.

The Reds selected the 6'3' lefty in the 21st round of the 2007 draft.  He was invited to spring training in Goodyear, Arizona this February.

Horst jumped three levels in 2010, starting in Lynchburg (11g,0-2,4.30era), promoted to Caroling (27g,3-2, 2.09), then advanced to Louisville (6g,2gs,1-0,2.51).

This spring Horst appeared in five games and allowed one earned runs on six hits and three walks.  He struck out five.
