Reese Havens Retires

[Abneric]

Reese Havens, the first-round pick of the Mets in 2008, has retired (Rubin).

Havens played six seasons in the minors, finally making it to Triple-A in 2013. He was rarely healthy, playing in only 345 games over his six years of pro ball.

He posted a .252 batting average with a .355 OBP over his career, hitting .237/.312/.330 in just 38 games in 2013.


I know he had a good amount of cards and people collected him.

Had high hopes for his bat if only he could stay healthy but seemed every season it was something or other.

I just went thru a pile of National promo cards I had of him, Tim Beckham and David Cooper this past weekend

Real shame. Had talent, injuries derailed him.

Really thought he would become a Chase Utley-type hitter. It's a shame injuries ruined a player like himself.
