Kalafatis on Reeder: “Kim had an outstanding fall. She had a no-hitter in the Charity Classic, pitched a few complete games and really showed how focused that she is for this season. Kim has had a wonderful career so far, she’s played a part in so many big games for us and with that experience, and I think this season she’ll end her career with her most consistent and successful season ever.”
