Reiser Emerges as Star for Brooklyn in 1930 Season
Harold Heuser praised Lew Reiser for his hitting range in Havana. Reiser leads the National League with a .360 average, ahead of Johnny Mize and Arky Vaughan. Brooklyn bought little for a big payoff as the 21-year-old center fielder outshines pricier stars and reshapes the Dodgers lineup. Reiser’s defense, speed, and versatility make him a feared asset, while Branch Rickey’s farm system connections are noted in the wider context of his emergence.
