Alex Reyes RHP, Cardinals. DOB: 8/29/1994. 6'3", 175 lbs.
TBH, I am not sure if Alex Reyes still qualifies as a prospect or rookie or not. He's at exactly 50 MLB IP which is the cutoff. He is listed on MLB and Fangraphs prospect lists and darn it! I want to to talk about Alex Reyes, to there! I am going to talk about him!
This is the third time Reyes has made my list of Impact Rookies. He's an incredible physical presence on the mound who is bigger than his listed weight and in a good way. After posting a 1.57 ERA in 46 IP, in 2016, he was all set for a huge breakout in 2017 but missed the entire season with a torn UCL and Tommy John surgery. He again appeared to be ready for his huge breakout in 2018 running up a line of 3-0, 0.00, 23 IP, 7 BB, 44 K's in 4 rehab starts at 4 levels before tearing a lat tendon 4 innings into his first MLB start of the season.
He is now reportedly fully recovered and training for a SP role. He'll make a third try for a breakout in 2019 and I am buying!
