Amateur career
A native of San Diego, California, Reese attended the University of San Diego, where he played college baseball for the Toreros from 1997-2000.[1] In 1999, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2][3] Reese was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 27th round of the 2000 MLB Draft.
Professional career
Reese was traded by the Padres to the New York Yankees after the 2001 season. After spending several seasons in the minor leagues, Reese was called up to the Yankees on June 26, 2005, due to an injury to outfielder Hideki Matsui. In his first major league plate appearance, which came against the New York Mets, Reese drew a walk. In his first official major league at-bat, Reese struck out. Later the same week, he was returned to the minor leagues by the team.
On May 12, 2006, Reese was recalled by the Yankees from the Columbus Clippers to serve as a backup outfielder after Hideki Matsui broke his wrist. He collected his first major league hit in a game against the Mets, on May 20, 2006. He spent all year with the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees. Reese was designated for assignment on August 14, 2007. He was outrighted back to the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees a day later.
Scouting and front office career
After receiving no offers to attend major league spring training following the 2007 season, Reese retired from playing and accepted a job with the New York Yankees as a scout for the South Atlantic and the Carolina Leagues.[4][5][6]
Reese was named Senior Director of Professional Scouting of the New York Yankees on November 3, 2017, and promoted to Vice President of Player Development on January 12, 2022.
