Reggie Willits is back in the major league and is now a
member of the greatest organization in the world, the New York Yankees. If you
don’t know who Willits is he is a former Oklahoma standout and MLB outfielder
with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Willits stole 40 bases in six seasons
with the Angels, obviously in very limited playing time, while being thrown out
just 17 times. Willits is now the outfield and base running coordinator for the
team after restoring and reviving Binger-Oney’s baseball program.
As a play Willits was a very aggressive base runner and will
likely help the Yankees get aggressive on the basepaths, here’s looking at you
Brett Gardner. Willits will also undoubtedly work with the plethora of outfield
prospects the team has that are pretty close to the major leagues. Welcome to the family Mr. Willits.
