He was inducted into the College Baseball HOF in 2015. Reichardt signed a bonus of 0,000 to played for the expansion Angels in 1964. He would be the last bonus baby, as the major leagues instituted a major league draft to begin in 1965. He played 11 seasons for the Angels (1964-1970), Senators (1970), White Sox (1971-1973), and K.C. Royals (1973-1974). He had 5 seasons of 15+ HRs, with his best season in 1968, hitting .255, with career best 21 HRs, and 73 RBIs.
