Who is Denyi Reyes? A look into the life and career of Mets flamethrower

The New York Mets' Denyi Reyes is a popular pitcher for the team. He has been a lifelong baseball fan and admires players like Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, and Manny Ramirez.

Denyi Reyes was born in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic, on November 2, 1996. As a young boy, he almost gave up playing baseball after a ball hit his forehead while he was playing with his elder brother. However, he returned to the field a year and a half later after his friends insisted they needed a pitcher and wanted him to pitch.

Denyi Reyes went through the minor leagues before he could play for the Boston Red Sox. He played for various teams like the Dominican Summer League Red Sox, the Gulf Coast League Red Sox, the Lowell Spinners, the Greenville Drive, and the former Pawtucket Red Sox (now Worcester Red Sox).

Although he was selected by the Boston Red Sox, he was designated for assignment. He became a free agent after the 2020 minor leagues were canceled.

In 2021, he was signed by the Baltimore Orioles and assigned to the Norfolk Tides. After playing a few games with them, he was once again designated for assignment in 2022 and became a free agent.

He was eventually selected by the New York Mets for their spring training. On April 4, 2023, Reyes made his major league debut as a replacement for Tommy Hunter. The New York Mets are expected to utilize Reyes' full potential in their games.
