He was the NLbatting championin 2011. He is also the New York Mets' all-time leader in triples and stolen bases, and has the most stolen bases in all of the active players.

Minor league career

Reyes was spotted byNew York Metsscoutsduring a tryout camp inSantiagoin the summer of 1999. After initial concerns over Reyes' slight frame, the Mets offered him a contract, which he signed on August 16, 1999. Despite traditionally sending youngsters to play in their Dominican academy, the Mets made an exception with Reyes and sent him to theKingsport Metsof theRookie-levelAppalachian Leaguefor the 2000 season.[1]He finished the season with a.250 batting average through 49 games.

For the 2001 season, Reyes was assigned to theCapital City Bombersof theClass ASouth Atlantic League.He excelled both in the field and at the plate, hitting.307 with 42 extra-base hits and winning the Player of the Year award.[2]

After being invited tospring trainingwith the major league Mets, Reyes began the 2002 season with theSt. Lucie Metsin theClass A-AdvancedFlorida State League.In the first three months of the season, he demonstrated that he could handle the step up, and was promoted to theBinghamton Metsof theDouble-AEastern League.In his first game, Reyes had 5 hits and 4 RBIs, and completed the season with a.287 average, 27 steals and 26 extra-base hits through 65 games.[2]

On December 15, 2002, the Mets traded starting shortstopRey Ordóñezto theTampa Bay Devil Rays.Two weeks later the Mets signed veteranRey Sánchezto a one-year deal, with the plan being to allow Reyes to mature in the minors while Sanchez kept the big-league spot warm for him.[citation needed]Reyes spent the first two months of the 2003 season with theNorfolk Tidesof theTriple-AInternational League,where he batted.269 and stole 26 bases in just 42 games.[2]

Injuries toMike PiazzaandMo Vaughnhad contributed to the Mets' poor performance in theNational League East,and eventually convinced managerArt Howeto begin playing some of the team's younger talent.[1]When Rey Sánchez strained his thumb on June 5, 2003, Reyes received his call-up to the majors, just a day before his 20th birthday.

Major League career

New York Mets (2003–11)

2003–05

Reyes made his major league debut on June 10, 2003 against the Texas Rangers, the day before his 20th birthday, going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs in a 9–7 loss. After the game, Reyes collected the ball from his first career hit and sent it to his parents. Over the following weeks Reyes' impressive form continued, including agrand slamoffJarrod Washburnin an 8–0 victory over the Angels. WhenRey Sánchezcompleted his month-long spell on the DL, Reyes' strong play moved Sánchez to the bench.

Reyes' season was cut short a month early by a sprained ankle, but he still managed to compile impressive rookie numbers. In 69 games, he batted.307 with 32 RBIs and 13 stolen bases. Reyes finished 8th in voting for the 2003 NLRookie of the Year.

Prior to the 2004 season, the Mets signed Japanese starKazuo Matsui,whose only condition upon signing was that he got a chance to play his regular position, shortstop. As a result, Reyes was asked to learnsecond baseduties. Early on in the season, Reyes suffered a strained hamstring and remained on the DL until June 19.

When he returned, the Mets were involved in a close race in theNational League Eastwith theMarlins,Phillies,andBraves.However, a back problem for Reyes and injuries to other key Mets led to a collapse and instead of being involved in a pennant race, the team found themselves fighting to stay out of last place in the division. By the end of the season Reyes had returned to his preferred position at shortstop, with Matsui moving to second base. Reyes ended a disappointing season with a batting average of.255, 14 RBIs, and 19 stolen bases in 53 games.

At the age of 21, Reyes was handed the leadoff spot in the Mets' line-up in his first full season in the major leagues. Despite struggling slightly with his plate discipline — he had only 27 walks in a league-high 733 plate appearances – he finished the season with solid numbers. In 161 games he had 48 extra-base hits, 58 RBIs and 60 stolen bases. Reyes led theNational Leaguein stolen bases and led the majors in triples. However, he also led all National League shortstops in errors with 18.

2006–07

During spring training in 2006, the Mets brought in former playerRickey Hendersonas a specialist instructor. One of the reasons Henderson was hired was to help tutor Reyes in the arts of getting on base and stealing bases – skills at which Henderson excelled throughout his own career.

Reyes wonPlayer of the Weekhonors in theNational Leaguefor the weeks beginning June 12 and 19, becoming the first Mets player to be named the NL Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks sinceJesse Oroscoin 1983.[3]During this two-week period Reyes had 30 hits in 57 at-bats (a.526 batting average) and raised his season batting average from.246 to.302. On June 21, 2006 in a 6–5 loss against theCincinnati RedsReyeshit for the cycle,becoming the ninth Met in team history to do so.[4]

Reyes' outgoing personality began to make him a fan favorite in New York. He became well known for the elaborate handshakes he creates with his teammates to celebrate runs scored.[5]In his spots as 'Professor Reyes', Reyes taught theSheafaithful the Spanish language between innings on the stadium's Diamond Vision screen, helping to make him one of the Mets' most popular players.

On August 3, 2006, Reyes signed a four-year, $23.25 million contract extension with the Mets, thereby avoiding salary arbitration. The contract includes an $11 million option for 2011 with a buy-out of $500,000 if the Mets do not pick up the option. Reyes also received a $1.5 million signing bonus.

On August 15, 2006, Reyes hit threehome runsin an 11–4 loss against thePhiladelphia PhilliesatCitizens Bank ParkinPhiladelphia.Two days later, he became the second player in Mets history to record at least 50 stolen bases in consecutive seasons. On September 7, 2006, Reyes hit the firstinside-the-park home runof his career, against theLos Angeles DodgersatShea Stadium.Reyes was timed at 14.81 seconds for his dash around the bases — the equivalent of running a circular 100-meter dash in about 13.5 seconds.[6]

As the 2006 season wound down, Reyes was in pursuit of an unusual feat — reaching 20 home runs, 20 triples, 20 doubles, and 20 stolen bases. Reyes finished the 2006 regular season with an average of.300, 19 home runs, 81 RBIs, 122 runs, and 64 stolen bases in 153 games. He increased his on-base percentage by 54 points, and his slugging percentage was almost 100 points higher than in 2005. Reyes' walk rate nearly doubled — in 30 fewer plate appearances, he went from 27 walks to 53. He also showed similar improvement in the field — in 2006 he had arange factorof 3.86, the lowest of all major league shortstops. Reyes picked up aSilver Slugger Award,was called up to his firstAll-Star Game,and finished 7th inNL MVPvoting.

The Mets clinched their spot in the playoffs, and Reyes experienced thepostseasonfor the first time in his career. He made his playoff debut on October 4, 2006 against theLos Angeles Dodgersin the2006 National League Division Series.Though he hit just.167 for the series, he came up big in key situations, scoring the winning run in Game 1, driving in the go-ahead run in Game 2, and knocking in the game-tying run in the 6th inning of Game 3. In Game 6 of the2006 National League Championship Seriesagainst theSt. Louis Cardinalsand facing elimination, Reyes hit a leadoff home run in the first inning to jump start his team and help force a deciding Game 7, which the Mets went on to lose, 3–1.

In November 2006 Reyes participated in theMajor League Baseball Japan All-Star Seriesalong with teammatesJohn MaineandDavid Wright.He hit a 2-run walk-off home run in the 10th inning of Game 5, giving theMLBteam their first sweep of theirNPBrivals.

On July 12, 2007, Reyes hit the ninth leadoff home run of his career againstCincinnati RedspitcherBronson Arroyo,setting a new record for the franchise.[7]

In August Reyes stole his 50th base of the year, becoming the first New York baseball player to steal 50 or more bases in three consecutive seasons. On August 22, 2007, Reyes stole his 65th, 66th, and 67th bases and brokeRoger Cedeño's Mets record for the most stolen bases in a single season. August also saw Reyes tie the Mets record for stealing at least one base in four straight games.

In the last month of the season, Reyes' struggles were seen to be a key component of the Mets historic late-season collapse. He batted.205 and had an on-base percentage of only.279. His struggles brought much criticism from Mets fans. On the second to last day of the regular season he was involved in a benches-clearing brawl against the Florida Marlins, which started whenMiguel Olivocharged across the diamond and threw a punch at Reyes. Olivo would be ejected from the game and Reyes was allowed to stay in. The Mets would win the game 13–0. Reyes finished the season with a.280 batting average, 60 extra-base hits, 12 home runs, 57 RBIs, and 78 stolen bases in 160 games.

2008–09

In spring training and the early part of the 2008 season, Reyes vocalized a plan to focus a little more on baseball, and a little less on the theatrics — such as his dugout dances after home runs — that drew criticism during the late part of 2007 when the Mets were struggling. One of the casualties of this change of focus was the Professor Reyes segment played between innings atSheawhere he taught the fans Spanish words and phrases. This was replaced by 'Maine Street USA' withJohn Maine,and 'Do The Wright Thing' withDavid Wright,which failed to match the popularity of Reyes' spots. However, with some prodding by his teammates, Reyes was encouraged to continue playing with the same energy as he had previously.[8]

On July 3, Reyes' childhood friendArgenis Reyeswas called up from the Triple-ANew Orleans Zephyrs.When Argenis played, he and José made up the middle infield for the Mets, with Argenis Reyes at second base. On July 20, Reyes overtookMookie Wilsonas the Mets all-time triples leader after legging out his 63rd career triple in the fourth inning of a game against theCincinnati Reds.

On September 10, Reyes broke the Mets all-time record for stolen bases, previously held byMookie Wilson,with his 282nd career stolen base coming in the third inning of a game against theWashington Nationals.After stealing second to break the record, he then stole third and scored the go-ahead run on a single byDavid Wright.On September 23, 2008, Reyes achieved his first 200-hit season with a bases-clearing triple. He is the second Met to reach this landmark, afterLance Johnsonin 1996. Reyes finished the season with a batting average of.297, with 72 extra-base hits (including a majors-leading 19 triples), 68 RBIs and 56 stolen bases.

A few days before spring training, Mets managerJerry Manuelannounced that he was considering moving Reyes from the leadoff spot to 2nd or 3rd in the line-up. However, Reyes playing in theWorld Baseball Classicmeant his playing time in the Mets training camp was limited, and led to Manuel deciding to move Reyes back to the leadoff spot. Speaking of the decision, Reyes said "That's where I've hit all my life... I'd like to be a leadoff hitter."[9]

On May 3, 2009, Reyes was placed on the DL due to a calf injury. Reyes was expected to be back in early June but when rehabbing the injury he pulled himself from an extended spring training game; an MRI the following day revealed the tear, which Reyes confirmed was different than the initial injury. A September return was considered possible but he suffered yet another injury, a torn right hamstring while doing rehab work in August.[10]

2010

On March 11, 2010, Reyes was diagnosed with ahyperactive thyroid gland,and was ordered by doctors to cease spring training activity.[11]On March 23, his thyroid levels returned to normal and he was cleared to play. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list and missed the start of the regular season.[12]

On May 25, he hit his 1000th career hit off of thePhillies'Jamie Moyer.On June 8, Reyes hit a game tying home run in the 7th with 2 outs that had to be reviewed. The shot was originally called a double because it bounced back into play. TheMetswent on to win the game in the 11th on a walk off shot byIke Davis.

On July 4, Reyes was selected to his third All-Star Game, but he was unable to play due to an injury; Dodgers shortstopRafael Furcalreplaced Reyes. However, Reyes still attended the All-Star game with his family.

2011

Reyes with the Mets in 2011

On June 28, in his 1,000th career game, Reyes stole his 360th base. This put him in the top 100 all-time in MLB stolen bases. Reyes was voted in as the starting shortstop for the National League in the2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.However, he did not participate due to a strained left hamstring.[13]

Throughout the 2011 season, there were talks about Reyes' future and if it would be with the Mets. He decided he did not want to talk about it until the end of the season. As well as being a possible top target for teams in free agency, he was reportedly involved in trade talks with multiple teams, but the Mets decided they would hold onto him for the rest of the season and make an effort to re-sign him.

Reyes was once again placed on the disabled list due to a strained left hamstring.[14]

On the final day of the season, afterbuntingfor a single in his first at bat in the first inning, Reyes asked his manager to remove him from the game, ending his season with a.337 batting average, two points ahead ofRyan Braunof the Milwaukee Brewers in the race for the NL batting title.[15]Braun went 0–4 later in the day to finish at.332.[15][16]Reyes became the first Met in franchise history to win anNL batting title.[17]Reyes's decision came on the 70th anniversary ofTed Williams' refusal sit out a doubleheader on the last day of the 1941 season, putting his.400 batting average at risk but ultimately hitting 6-for-8 and raising his average from.39955 to.406.[18][19][20][21]Reyes played in 126 games in 2011, the fewest games played by a batting champion sinceManny Ramirez's 120 games played in 2002.[22]He became a free agent at the end of the season.

On April 15, Anthopoulos reported that an MRI revealed no fracture and that no surgery would be required, but that Reyes was expected to miss three months.[28]On April 15, CBS Sports writer Danny Knobler reported that Reyes's ankle injury was less severe than originally thought, reducing his time on the DL to 8 weeks,[29]however that was later refuted by Blue Jays management.[30]He was placed on the 60-day disabled list on April 23 to make room forAaron Laffey.[31]
