Alkali metals are good reducing agents because alkali metals have one valence electron which they lose to attain stability. Hence, they themselves undergo oxidation causing reduction of others and are good reducing agents.

They have a single electron that they want to get rid of and become a +1 cation. Thus, they will readily give away an electron, thus acting as reducing agents, and themselves becoming oxidized.
