4/9 Delmarva: Batting 7th, 3rd.. 1 for 4, 1 bb, 2 k's

[BSLChrisStoner]

Through 4/15:

 

24 ab's, .333 / .385 / .542  2bb's, 7 k's

[BSLChrisStoner]

4/17: 0 for 2, k, 3 bb's

[SportsGuy]

Love to see the 3 walks.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Season to date:

 

52 ab's,  .346 / .424 / .538

 

5 bb's, 11 k's

[Greg Pappas]

It's exciting to see him develop. We really need a big bat developing.

[SportsGuy]

Reyes is quickly becoming as close to untouchable as you can be Imo.

Potential elite offensive prospects don't grow on trees.

Now, I would of course deal him but it's going to take something very good to pull that trigger...assuming he keeps up the power and plate discipline that he is showing.

Season...

 

84 ab's, .754 OPS, 6 bb's, 17 k's

[JordanKough]

776 OPS in Delmarva. 190 ISO. But a 4/25 BB/K ratio. For an 18 year old...not bad. 

[Mackus]

Very exciting season considering how young he is.  Hopefully he can hold the Ks where they are though as he moves up, over 20% Ks is a bit of a red flag.  Poised to be 19 at Frederick next year is a real nice place to be.

[SportsGuy]

Hope this doesn't linger and effect his power:

Why can't we have nice things?

 

Ultimately it doesn't matter because it's an injury that you can fully recover from, but it seems quite common that this injury leads to a power outage the next season for the player.  Doesn't matter if he doesn't hit any HRs at age 19 at Frederick, he can still make progress and be well on his way to being an impact player.  Just frustrating.

Work on his pitch recognition and walk skills for a year.

2080 Baseball: Reyes Scouting Report

Per Reggie Yinger 2/20
http://baltimorespor...prospect-press/


Not known for their International signings, the Orioles signed a solid, young bat with Jomar Reyes. Just 19, Reyes is the one of the best hitting prospects in the system. He was one of the youngest players in South Atlantic League in 2015 and hit .278/.334/.440 with five home runs in 84 games. However, part of his season was spent on the disabled list, as he dealt with a sprained right thumb and a concussion near the end of the season. Additionally, Reyes required surgery during the off-season due to a broken hamate bone suffered during instructional league play.

Reyes has solid power to all fields and will hit for average and power. His stance is squared-off and he generates great bat speed. He has a front leg quick, but doesn’t over-extend himself and stays balanced. He has a solid build and has a good approach at the plate, great things for a teenager. In the field, he has a strong arm and is able to make the throws to first base from third without issue. His footwork around third base is sloppy at times and he can be overaggressive on balls, due to a lack of mobility.

Going Forward:
When you watch Reyes, you forget that he’s a teenager at times. He shows great patience at the plate and the power is real. His swing can appear exaggerated at times due to the leg kick, but he’s shown thus far that he can hit both for power and for average. Hopefully the injuries don’t restrict his ability to hit in the future. As far as position on the field, unless his feet improve at third base, I suspect he will move to first base. He should repeat the 2016 season in Delmarva (A).

I don't recall seeing any video of him.  How big is the leg kick?  I always dig it when someone can be successful with a non-traditional form, see it much moreso pitching, but you'll get the occasionally big leg kick or exaggerated open or closed stance.

Minimal leg kick, but people will point to it and say he's out of "control"
