Reinhard, the D-III leader in strikeouts (146 in 104 innings), fanned 19 in a game against Wisconsin-Stout, when he was clocked at 93 mph in the first inning as well as the ninth. Reinhard backs up his 88-93 mph heater with a slider that's an average pitch at times. A tough competitor, he pitched a seven-inning complete game and came back 45 minutes later to start another, working five-innings of one-hit ball for another win, in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament. At the D-III regionals the following week, Reinhard saved the opener, then started and won two games in the next three days. He projects as a set-up man as pro.
