Signed in January of 2014 at the tender age of 16, Jomar Reyes was initially a fast-rising and highly-rated prospect in the Baltimore Orioles system. A native of the Dominican Republic, Reyes has seen his advancement become stagnant in recent years, however.
Reyes managed to make it from the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League to Frederick of the Carolina League after just two seasons in the organization. His promotion to the Keys came after a 2015 season in Delmarva that saw him hit .278/ .334/ .440 with five home runs and 44 RBI. Reyes’ star was on the rise so much so that he went from being the Orioles #18 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, in 2014 to the team’s #4 prospect in 2016.
