Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Victor Reyes was promoted to the Philadelphia Phillies on April 18, 2026, after hitting .333 with 6 home runs in his first 18 Triple-A games. He impressively homered off Chris Sale in his first MLB at-bat while batting cleanup. However, his performance has significantly declined since that debut. Through his first eight MLB games, Reyes is 3-27 (.111) with 7 strikeouts and no walks. His primary weakness—an extremely high chase rate of 55.6% on pitches outside the strike zone—is being heavily exploited at the major league level. This compares to a 51.9% chase rate in Triple-A. Scouts and analysts are questioning whether the Phillies should option him back to the minors given his struggles and the availability of alternative roster options.
