William Joshua Reddick (born February 19, 1987) is an American professional baseball right fielder for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Dodgers. Reddick won a Gold Glove Award in 2012.
Born in Savannah, Georgia, Reddick attended South Effingham High School in Guyton, Georgia. Reddick also played for his school's team in middle school, but was cut from the team twice. Previously a shortstop, Reddick transitioned to the outfield during his junior year of high school. Reddick then attended Middle Georgia College, playing baseball in the NJCAA. As a freshman at Middle Georgia, Reddick hit .461.
The Boston Red Sox selected Reddick in the 17th round of the 2006 MLB draft.
On July 31, 2009, Reddick was called up to the major leagues to replace Adam LaRoche, who had been traded. He made his major league debut that night, pinch-hitting for Rocco Baldelli in the ninth inning and grounding out against Cla Meredith of the Baltimore Orioles in his only at-bat. He recorded his first MLB hit in the next game, a double in the second inning off of David Hernandez. He doubled again later in the game against Chris Ray for his first multi-hit major league game.
