A good portion of the Mets’ early offensive struggles can be laid at the feet of Reyes’ poor start. Through 19 games last year, Reyes had a .329 batting average and .421 on-base percentage with 21 runs scored, 13 walks, and 12 steals in 14 attempts while the Mets’ record at the time was 13-6. This year, he is hitting just .280 with a .313 on-base percentage, which is worse than all but three other NL leadoff hitters, with only four walks while scoring 12 runs and stealing just three bases in five tries as the Mets were 10-9. Normally, this would not be that big of a concern, but since Reyes is coming off a poor second half and September collapse, some red flags have to be raised, especially by those who expended a high pick or big auction dollars in their drafts.
