Well, this year, it’s a hulking fellow named Felix Reyes, who owns one of baseball’s greatest gifts: raw power.

Reyes, at 6-foot-3, arrived at Phils camp as a nonroster invitee and has made the most of it, hitting . 333 with three home runs in 17 games. And maybe more impressive than Reyes’ power display is his elite bat-to-ball skills, striking out just two times in 31 plate appearances.

But back to the power, Reyes launched a 433-foot missile off Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty on Monday, and couple days before that, the kid blasted this nuke off the Yankees: Reyes is loving the opportunity. “I embraced it,” the 24-year-old Dominican said via a team interpreter from inquirer. com .

“So I just remain optimistic from that point onward. Watching that, I just tried to change my attitude, and I’ve just embraced that. And from that moment, always, everything I do, everywhere I go and everything I work in, I just go with that optimistic mindset.
