Alexander Reyes (born August 29, 1994) is a Dominican American professional baseball pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB). He was signed by the Cardinals as an amateur free agent in December 2012, and made his MLB debut for them August 9, 2016.
The Cardinals' top prospect entering both the 2015 and 2016 seasons, Baseball America named him the second-best prospect overall in their 2016 mid-season ranking. He has played in two All-Star Futures Games and was one of two Cardinals' Co-Minor League Pitchers of the Year in 2015.
Reyes was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and lived in New Jersey until he was 18. He moved to the Dominican Republic in December 2011 to gain residency so that he could sign with a Major League Baseball team the next season and avoid the Major League Baseball Draft. In December 2012 he signed a $950,000 deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Reyes made his professional debut in 2013 for the Johnson City Cardinals. In 12 starts he went 6–4 with a 3.39 earned run average (ERA) with 68 strikeouts in 58 1⁄3 innings. Prior to the 2014 season, he was ranked by Baseball America as the seventh best prospect in the Cardinals organization. He was also ranked by Baseball Prospectus as the 98th best prospect in all of baseball. At the end of the 2014 season he moved up to fourth best prospect in the Cardinals organization.
Playing for the Class A-Advanced Palm Beach Cardinals of the Florida State League (FSL) in 2015, Reyes was the Cardinals' Minor League Pitcher of the month in April. He led the FSL with 35 SO and allowed a 1.71 ERA over 20 1⁄3 innings. His 13-strikeout performance on June 17 was a season-high. Including his previous 10 outings, he had posted a 1.79 ERA and 70 SO in 50 1⁄3 innings. On June 25, Reyes was selected to represent the World Team in the All-Star Futures Game after leading all of the minor leagues with a ratio of 13.4 strikeouts per nine innings pitched (SO/9). He had registered a 2–5 record and 2.08 ERA while striking out 90 and walking 30 in 60 2⁄3 IP. He was also selected to play in the 2015 FSL mid-season All-Star game.
With a 2.26 ERA, 49 hits and zero home runs allowed with 96 strikeouts in 63 2⁄3 innings over 13 FSL starts, the Cardinals promoted Reyes to the AA Springfield Cardinals of the Midwest League in July 2015. The next month, Baseball America rated him as throwing the FSL's best fastball, best breaking pitch, and as the "best pitching prospect" in the league in 2015, according to a poll of managers and coaches. He totaled a 5–7 record and 2.49 ERA over 22 starts in 2015, striking out 151 in 101 1⁄3 innings while allowing a .197 opposing batting average. The Cardinals selected him to play for the Surprise Saguaros of the off-season Arizona Fall League (AFL). Baseball America also selected Reyes for the high Class-A minor leagues All-Star team for the 2015 season. He and Austin Gomber were selected the Cardinals' co-Minor League Pitchers of the Year for 2015.
Baseball America selected Reyes as the top Cardinals' prospect entering the 2016 season. MLB.com ranked him as the tenth-best prospect in all the minor leagues, and Baseball Prospectus at number 13.
The Cardinals purchased Reyes' contract on August 9, 2016, and added him to the major league roster to serve as a relief pitcher. He made his major league debut the same night against the Cincinnati Reds, pitching a perfect inning and striking out fellow rookie Adam Duvall for his first in the major leagues. Reyes earned his first major league win on August 13, 2016, against the Chicago Cubs, and first save on August 19 against the Philadelphia Phillies. After five appearances and 9 1⁄3 innings in relief with 13 strikeouts and no runs surrendered, he made his first MLB start on August 27 against the Oakland Athletics. He completed 4 2⁄3 innings, allowing one run, two hits and four walks while striking out four. The first run charged to Reyes in his major league career occurred when reliever Zach Duke walked Khris Davis with the bases loaded to score Bruce Maxwell in the fifth, ending 14 consecutive scoreless innings. The Athletics won, 3−2.
The Cardinals, attempting to make the playoffs, called upon Reyes to start against fellow contenders, including seven scoreless innings against San Francisco on September 23 and, in his next outing, three runs in five innings against Chicago. As a starting pitcher, Reyes was credited with a 4−1 record; his only loss came against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 7.
