  Ranked Pittsburgh Pirates #23 prospect in 2019
  Track Record: Reyes signed for $90,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2012, when the Pirates expected him to be an everyday shortstop. He hasn't made more than 36 appearances in a season at short since his first summer in the Dominican Summer League, but he has since been molded into a Josh Harrison-style super utility player.
  
  Scouting Report: The Pirates called Reyes up in September and in just 18 games, he played second base, third base, left field and right field. He also got extensive work in center field as a minor leaguer. All of Reyes' tools are average or just slightly above, but the total package might get him on the roster in 2019. He had by far the most successful September of the late-season call-ups, slashing .293/.349/.483 with three home runs in 18 games. He's never hit below .265 in a full minor league season, he's finished with double-digit home runs three times, and he registered 115 minor-league stolen bases. His arm isn't great, but it plays at second or third.
  
  The Future: Unlike Harrison, Reyes might never win an everyday starting job, but he could be a valuable member of the bench, especially early in 2019 with Gregory Polanco expected to miss time with a shoulder injury.
