Mahon pitching for the South Bend Silver Hawks, Single-A affiliates of the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 6, 2007.

Reid Mahon (born June 1, 1983 in Saint Paul, Minnesota) is a pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.

[edit] Biography

Mahon grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where he was a three-sport athlete at Como Park Senior High School, lettering in basketball, football and baseball. Despite gaining serious interest from many Big Ten schools to play football, such as Purdue, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, Mahon ultimately chose to play baseball for the University of Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Communications in 2006 and went undrafted in the MLB draft.

[edit] Playing Career

Despite a sub-par collegiate career, Mahon's 95 mph fastball was enough to earn him a shot with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who signed him shortly after he graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2006. He quickly advanced in the organization, reaching the triple-A level in 2008. In 2009, Mahon was invited to spring training with the Arizona Diamondbacks as a non-roster invitee before being reassigned to minor league camp. Due to an early season injury, Mahon was assigned to the Diamondbacks' double-A club before being called up to AAA on July 5, 2009. He returned to the AA club on August 29, 2009.
