Jacob Reust

Jacob with the Redcliffe Padres

Jacob Reust is an Australian minor league baseball player for the Gulf Coast Indians. He was signed as a pitcher to the Cleveland Indians organisation in February 2007 and was released April 2009.[1]

During the time Reust was in the US, he only pitched one inning due to injury and technique being worked on during the season. The game he pitched was on 26 August 2008 in the eighth inning of the final game of the Gulf Coast League season against the Gulf Coast Blue Jays. Reust pitched just the one defensive inning, facing three batters and forcing out all three.[2]

Reust plays for the Redcliffe Padres where he has the honour of hitting the first home run at Talobilla Park but has been made unavailable to pitch in the Greater Brisbane League as well as the 2009 Claxton Shield due to his contract.

Jacob was released from the Indians in April 2009 where he returned to Australia to play for the Queensland U23 team.
