Ronald Lee Reed (born November 2, 1942) is a retired American starting/relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Atlanta Braves (1966–75), St. Louis Cardinals (1975), Philadelphia Phillies (1976–83) and Chicago White Sox (1984). He batted and threw right-handed.
In a 19-season career, Reed posted a 146-140 record with a 3.46 ERA, 103 saves, 1,481 strikeouts, eight shutouts, 55 complete games, and 2,477 2⁄3 innings in 751 appearances (236 as a starter).
He is one of only five pitchers in MLB history to have 100 wins, 100 saves and 50 complete games. The other four are Ellis Kinder, Firpo Marberry, Dennis Eckersley, and John Smoltz
In Reed's second full season of baseball, he was chosen to represent the Atlanta Braves as a member of 1968 National League All-Star team. He pitched in the ninth inning, following future Hall of Famers Don Drysdale, Juan Marichal, Steve Carlton and Tom Seaver on the mound for the NL, and helped preserve a 1-0 victory.
The following season, he won a career-high 18 games to help Atlanta to its first NL division title. On April 8, 1974, he was the winning pitcher the night Hank Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th home run.
