In the loss, Lansing shortstop Max Schuemann reached base four times on three walks and a single and designated hitter William Simoneit crushed a pair of opposite-field RBI doubles.

Pronunciation: Reid’s last name is pronounced “BIR-ling-MY-er.”

Professional Career: Made his professional debut in the AZL in 2018 (1.45 ERA, 18 2/3 IP, 5 R, 6 BB, 25 K) before moving up to Vermont on August 8 (2.25 ERA, 5 G, 3 GS, 16.0 IP, 10 BB, 8 K)... spent full 2019 in Beloit (4.02 ERA, 123 IP, 108 H, 50 BB, 120 K), pitching at least six innings in nine games, topping out at 7-IP, 1-R, 8-K on July 24th... faced the Lugnuts once (3 IP, 0 R) on May 4th... had overall numbers skewed by one bad month: 1.46 ERA in 24.2 IP in May, 10.72 ERA in 22.2 IP in June, 2.78 in 35.2 IP in July, 2.36 in 34.1 IP in August.

Teaching on the Side: Reid is an instructor at the K’s Training Academy in the offseason, located in

Normal, as is college/Lugnuts teammate Charlie Cerny (pronounced “Cher-nee”).

Draft Day: Selected 833rd overall in the 28th round from the University of Illinois at Chicago (the “Flames”) in 2018, signed for $50,000 (one round in front of Lugnuts teammate Drew Millas)... signed by Derek Lee... drafted 21 rounds after Cerny... the 2018 draft was fruitful for the Lugnuts roster, also producing Bryce Nightengale (16th round), Cobie Vance (18th round), Max Schuemann (20th round), Aiden McIntyre (22nd round).

Life as a Flame: Reid struggled as a freshman (8.81 ERA, 17 G, 3 GS, 31 2/3 IP, 33 R, 24 BB, 27 K, 11 HBP) but bounced back to have a strong sophomore season (3.10, 15 GS, 1 ShO, 93.0 IP, 34 R, 25 BB, 81 K, 5 HBP) and an even better junior season (2.12, 10 G, 8 GS, 51.0 IP, 12 R, 21 BB, 57 K, 5 HBP), though he missed time from March 23-April 24 with an injury.

Baseball Over Nursing: In an interview with White Cleat Beat, Reid shared that nursing had been his first pursuit, starting with volunteering at OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, Carle BroMenn Medical Center, and Camp Quality (serving children with cancer and their families). He applied to the nursing school at UIC as a sophomore before turning his attention fully toward baseball, majoring in liberal arts with a minor in psychology.

Major League Standouts: Only three UIC Flames have ever made the Majors, but each one is notable: Pete Mackanin (1973-1981), who managed the Pirates in 2005, the Reds in 2007 and the Phillies in 2015-2017; Ken Holtzman (1965-1979), who threw no-hitters for the Chicago Cubs in 1969 (despite not striking out a batter) and 1971 and was an American League All-Star with the Oakland Athletics’ World Series champions in 1972 and 1973; and three-time All-Star Curtis Granderson (2004- 2019), who was taken by the Detroit Tigers in the third round in 2002 and collected exactly 1800 hits in his 16-year MLB career.

High School Success, On and Off the Field...: Pitched and played shortstop at Normal West High School, where he was named 3x 1st Team All-Big 12 and the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the year as a Senior... in the 2015 Illinois Coaches Association (ICA) All-Star Game, he played second base... he was also a member of the National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society.

A Normal Background Check: Birlingmair’s hometown, Normal, was originally named North Bloomington in 1854. The name changed in 1865 to reflect its place as the home of Illinois State Normal University, a teaching school, now called simply Illinois State University. (Teaching schools were known as “normal schools” because their purpose was to instruct the students, future teachers, in properly understanding and instilling the societal norms at the time. Many state schools began as normal schools, like UCLA, which was originally named the Los Angeles State Normal School.) Normal is the home of the Normal Cornbelters, a member of the from 2010-2018 and now a member of the Prospect League, playing their home games at The Corn Crib.
