Bailey Reid is returning to Westmont College as the program’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. A former Warrior standout and professional pitcher, Reid brings elite playing experience and advanced player-development expertise to the staff.
Reid pitched for Westmont from 2016–20, compiling a 3.02 career ERA with 78 strikeouts in 47.2 innings. From 2018 through 2020, he strung together nearly 30 consecutive scoreless innings, posting a remarkable 0.00 ERA across his final two seasons. His dominance in the back end of the bullpen helped Westmont secure multiple postseason appearances and contributed to the program’s rise on the national stage.
Following his senior season, Reid signed with the Chicago Cubs as an undrafted free agent after the shortened five-round 2020 COVID Draft. Over four professional seasons with the Cubs and New York Mets organizations, he logged 87.1 innings while striking out 128 hitters. Known for his swing-and-miss arsenal, Reid consistently posted elite strikeout ratios and was among organizational leaders in strikeouts per nine innings. He finished his pro career in 2023 with the Brooklyn Cyclones.
After his playing career, Reid served as a pitching development coach at Push Performance in Arizona, where he worked with athletes ranging from youth players to professionals. In this role, he specialized in mechanical optimization, individualized training plans, and velocity/mobility development.
Reid graduated from Westmont with a degree in Economics and Business.
"I’m really excited to get to make my mark on the next generation of Warriors,” Reid said. “Returning to this school that has given so much to me is a blessing. Westmont gave me my beautiful and amazing wife Julia, and we are so blessed with our son Carter."
