Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Felix Reyes was promoted to the majors on April 18, 2026, after a strong Triple-A start (.333 BA, 6 HRs in 18 games). He homered in his MLB debut off Chris Sale but has since struggled significantly. Through 8 MLB games, Reyes is 5-for-35 (.143) with 7 strikeouts and 0 walks. His primary weakness—an extremely high chase rate (55.6% on pitches outside the zone)—has been exploited by MLB pitchers. He was optioned back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on May 18, 2026, after just one month in the majors, with Otto Kemp recalled in his place.
