Reynolds can flat out hit. Raw power potential with a high contact rate. I do not think in 6+ at bats that he had a single swing and miss on the day. Showed some power potential to all fields, ability to turn on it to the pull side, and an advanced feel for the barrel. Had a double to deep right center, line drive single, and a homerun out of center. Defensively is a solid defender at third base, but I think if he continues to play at the next level the higher level he plays at he may have to move to first or a corner outfield spot.

Strong projectable frame standing around 6-foot-2. For his size and makeup Reynolds moved well at third. Had nice actions defensively and looked more than capable of playing third for the foreseeable future. At the plate is where he impressed the most though. Hard loud contact on multiple at bats for the day. Starts in an open stance with a leg lift that gains ground toward the pitcher. Hands are relaxed and have some flow moving into a load where the hands drop slightly. Lower half finishes completely and there's some balance in the swing. Path is slightly uphill and can do some damage as there is some power in the swing. Had a double to the left center wall in the first game.
