Reid Kristien Detmers (born July 8, 1999) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Detmers was born in Nokomis, Illinois, and attended Nokomis High School as well as Glenwood High School, lettering in baseball for four seasons between the two schools. He played college baseball at the University of Louisville for three seasons, earning Atlantic Coast Conference and national accolades by his sophomore season. In his junior year, Detmers was considered one of the top prospects for the MLB draft. He was selected tenth overall by the Angels in the first round of the 2020 draft and signed with the team, forgoing his final year of college eligibility.

After pitching only 14 games in the Angels farm system, Detmers was promoted to the major leagues in August 2021. He made the 2022 Opening Day roster with his rookie eligibility still intact. On May 10, 2022, Detmers threw a no-hitter, becoming the youngest pitcher in Angels history to do so.[1] On July 31, 2022, he threw an immaculate inning, joining Mike Fiers and hall-of-famer Sandy Koufax as the only pitchers to throw both a no-hitter and an immaculate inning in the same season, and the only member of the group to do so as a rookie.[2]
