There weren’t many New York Mets players in the 21st Century as exciting to watch as Jose Reyes. His deadly speed made him a uniquely gifted player. In three consecutive seasons, he led the league with 60+ stolen bases. In many ways, he was one of the last great base thieves in MLB history.
Reyes was more than just a guy who could run. In 2011, his .337 batting average led the National League. It was the first and only time a player in a Mets uniform has won a batting crown.
