Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Felix Reyes was promoted to the Philadelphia Phillies on April 18, 2026, and made an impressive debut by hitting a home run off Chris Sale in his first at-bat. However, his performance has dramatically declined since that initial success. Through his first eight MLB games, Reyes is batting .111 (3-27) with 7 strikeouts and zero walks. He has an extremely high chase rate, swinging at 55.6% of pitches outside the strike zone—the highest in MLB. This exploits his primary weakness identified in Triple-A where he had a 51.9% O-zone swing rate and 16.1% whiff rate. Reyes appears overmatched at the major league level and there is discussion about optioning him back to the minors.
