The past two years have not gone the way Alex Reyes and the Cardinals had hoped. The young righty was called up to the majors in 2016 and in those 46 innings made quite an impression. Many folks were excited to see what this young flame-thrower could do.
Two years later we still wonder. That is the how Reyes once again tops the Cardinals Prospect rankings, according to MLB.com. In 2017 Reyes sat out the entire season recovering from Tommy John surgery. In 2018 Reyes was back and he looked strong in his rehab starts.
