A catcher from Troy, N.Y., Reardon was a four-year starter who earned All-Liberty League four times, All-Region three times and All-America once. He was the Liberty League Player of the Year, the ECAC Upstate Player of the Year and a National All-America in 2008 when he hit .409. The business and management major finished his career batting .386 (227 for 588) with 59 doubles – two shy of the school record – three triples and 22 home runs. He also scored 171 runs with 155 runs batted in and 20 stolen bases to go with a .609 slugging percentage and a .484 on-base percentage, aided by 105 walks. Reardon helped the Engineers set the school record for wins in a season in both 2008 (36) and 2009 (37) with those teams advancing to the NCAA Tournament Regional Final.
