Is there any better name for a New York Mets minor leaguer than Wilmer Reyes? Add to the fact that he’s from the Dominican Republic just like Jose Reyes, we can also feel some comfort in knowing another Wilmer is potentially on the way. Of course, Wilmer Flores will always be number one to many.
This Reyes, the Wilmer one, is a 21-year-old infielder on the rise in the Mets farm system. In his first three professional seasons, his overall numbers don’t stand out. This changed in 2019 as a member of the New York-Penn League Champion Brooklyn Cyclones.
