The Yankees have struggled to develop lefthanders since hitting the jackpot with 1990 draft-and-follow Andy Pettitte. Though senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman says the Yankees have the best pitching depth in his 15 years with the organization, they still have a distinct lack of lefthanders, particularly in the upper levels. Reyes, converted from an outfielder to a pitcher in 2004, has emerged as the lefty with the highest ceiling in the system. Though he's small, he has a quick arm and generates above-average velocity with his fastball, touching 93-94 mph at times. His curveball also has shown signs of being a plus pitch, and he has shown glimpses of a changeup. Still raw, Reyes excited the Yankees with a three-start audition at short-season Staten Island shortly after he turned 19 last year, more than holding his own. The next stop will be full-season ball in low Class A, where he'll work on becoming more consistent.
