Trevor Reckling is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on May 22, 1989 in Livingston, Montana, United States.
Reckling was ranked the fourth best prospect in the Angels’ organization after the 2009 season by Baseball Prospectus writer Kevin Goldstein as well as by Baseball America. Goldstein noted Reckling could force his way into a rotation shot by 2011, as a possible third starter, and could start the 2010 season as high as Triple-A. After former Angels ace John Lackey signed with the Boston Red Sox, the Orange County Register reporter Mark Whicker went so far as to say that Reckling “should get to Anaheim at some point in 2010.”
In 2009, Reckling had a successful season in the minor league system. Originally, the organization expected to have him in the Class A California League, but after the death of pitcher Nick Adenhart, Reckling was needed at Double-A Arkansas when Sean O’Sullivan was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake. Reckling made the All-Star team, the Futures Game, and played for Team USA at the end of the season. MLB.com picked Reckling as the Angels organization’s Pitcher of the Year, saying, “What didn’t the young lefty do? He turned 20 in May, yet led the organization in ERA (2.68) and was second in strikeouts (122). His 2.93 ERA and 106 K’s in the Texas League were good making him the youngest player for the Texas League. Then, for good measure, he went 2–0 with a 0.69 ERA in three starts for Team USA during its IBAF World Cup gold medal run. Trevor broke a Guinness Book World Record versus China striking out 11 tying Burt Hootens three decade old record for Team Usa.”
