[edit]He was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 6th round of the 1996 Major League Baseball Draft. He was traded with Drew Henson, Jackson Melián, and Ed Yarnall for Denny Neagle and Mike Frank. Reith made his Major League debut playing for the Cincinnati Reds in 2001.
In 2007, Reith played for the Somerset Patriots in the independent Atlantic League. In 8 games, he was 2–3 with a 2.70 ERA before signing with the Uni-President Lions in the CPBL.[1] Again with Somerset in 2008, he started 8 games before eventually becoming the closer.

In December 2008, Reith signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, but was released before the 2009 season's start.
