Hitting safely in eight of his last nine games, and being on base in 10 straight games overall, Reyes has bumped his batting average to .186. Obviously that number is not ideal for Jose Reyes, however, considering he started the season 5-50 (.100), it’s a huge improvement in a short time.
Reyes looks a lot more confident at the plate, and his patience at bat has increased. Due to his composure at the plate, Reyes is now able to work deeper into at bats, and it has paid off.
For example, Reyes went 2-4 yesterday, and contributed 5 RBI in the Mets’ 16-run barrage.
