Adinso Reyes

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Detroit Tigers #25 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: The Tigers liked Reyes' projectable frame and natural strength enough to sign him for $1.45 million in 2018. Reyes torched the Dominican Summer League in 2019, hitting .331/.379/.508 with seven home runs and 48 RBIs. Since the pandemic, Reyes found himself overmatched in the Florida Complex League in 2021, but bounced back in a return to the FCL before struggling again after a late-season promotion to Low-A Lakeland.
  
  Scouting Report: When you watch Reyes in action, it's easy to see how much the Tigers had to dream on. In addition to his pure strength, Reyes has an advanced approach that has proven able to drive the ball to all fields. His swing is often too long, but there is apparent power potential. Reyes improved his chase rate significantly in 2022, but it remains an issue. The Tigers moved Reyes to third base nearly full-time in August. There were some adjustment issues as he posted an .887 fielding percentage in 36 games there, but that is his likely long-term home, as his feet and average arm play better there.
  
  The Future: Reyes is showing himself to be a player who needs to be promoted slowly, as he often requires some time at a level to acclimate himself before getting comfortable. His late-season stint at Lakeland should help prep him for a return there in 2023.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 40. Power: 50. Speed: 50. Fielding: 50. Arm: 50.

  Ranked Detroit Tigers #24 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: The Tigers signed Reyes to a $1.45 million bonus in 2018, coveting his natural strength and projectable frame. He debuted the following year in the Dominican Summer League and hit .331/.379/.508. The missed year of development in 2020 didn’t help the 20-year-old, who struggled in 2021, hitting a combined .184/.272/.356 during his time in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.
  
  Scouting Report: There’s plenty to dream on with Reyes. In addition to his pure strength, Reyes has a knack for hard contact and flashes the ability to drive the ball to all fields. He’s still a work in progress at the plate with several elements of his swing and approach needing refinement. Reyes’ overly aggressive approach and downward bat path are both potential areas of improvement, and he chased pitches outside the zone at an alarming rate of 47.4%. His naturally long swing led to a high rate of in-zone swing and miss and his habit of chopping downward led to a near 50% ground ball rate. He struggled mightily versus breaking balls, but did show the ability to handle velocity. Defensively, evaluators are optimistic he can handle shortstop because of his arm strength and smooth footwork, but note he has the athleticism to handle third base if his size pushes him in that direction.
  
  The Future: Reyes has upside, but he’ll have to make significant adjustments to his swing and approach. He’s expected to move through the system slowly.
