Padres To Promote Sean Reynolds

By Darragh McDonald | July 12, 2024 at 2:50pm CDT

The Padres are going to promote right-hander Sean Reynolds, reports Craig Mish of the Miami Herald on X. The righty will be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game. He’s already on San Diego’s 40-man roster but the club will need to open an active roster spot.

Reynolds, 26, was a fourth-round pick of the Marlins back in 2016. He was drafted as a hitter but never did much hitting. In over 1,000 minor league plate appearances, he struck out at a 43.8% clip and slashed .178/.287/.344, never getting higher than Single-A.

He moved to the mound in 2021 and has been having more success in that role. He tossed 84 1/3 innings on the farm over 2021 and 2022 with a 3.74 earned run average and 27.7% strikeout rate. The 12.6% walk rate was a bit high but understandable for a guy fairly new to pitching.

The Marlins were intrigued enough to add him to their 40-man roster at the end of 2022, keeping Reynolds out of that year’s Rule 5 draft. He tossed another 48 2/3 innings in Miami’s farm system last year, between Double-A and Triple-A. In that time, he had a 2.77 ERA, 26.3% strikeout rate and 11.2% walk rate. He was also briefly promoted to the majors but didn’t get into a game.

The Padres were impressed enough to acquire Reynolds alongside Garrett Cooper in the trade that sent Ryan Weathers to the Marlins. Reynolds struggled with the move, allowing 24 earned runs in 16 innings after the deal last year.

He’s been in better form this year, though with the underlying numbers being more impressive than the surface ones. He has tossed 45 1/3 Triple-A innings this year with a 6.55 ERA, 28.3% strikeout rate and 14.6% walk rate. His .365 batting average on balls in play and 57.2% strand rate are both on the unlucky side, so perhaps his 4.62 FIP is a better indicator of how he’s pitched in the Pacific Coast League this year. Control is clearly still a work in progress but Reynolds seems to have strikeout stuff, so the Padres will give him a shot to miss major league bats.

      Do the numbers indicate he’s “unlucky” or that his stuff is “hittable?”
      Couldn’t having a high BABIP simply mean that his stuff is flat/not fooling anyone? If I was pitching, I’d have a high BABIP and it would have nothing to do with luck, as I am not a ML pitcher.

    Good thing they were putting Johnny Brito in high leverage situations as a reliever instead of stretching him out to be a starter all year. This organization knows ball

    Another bullpen piece who can’t get anyone out. Should fit right in.

    I smell an IL stint for Wanda Peralta. This is a back end starter prospect for 2025 ST so might as well get a few innings in mop up duty for a taste.

      1.7 WHIP and 6.34 ERA is average for the Chihuahuas. Reynolds 1.69 WHIP and 6.55 ERA is close to average.

      The PCL average is 5.83 and 1.755 WHIP. For relievers its a 6.54 ERA and 1.72 WHIP. Reynolds is about average for the league too.

    How about… sign Trevor Bauer for the league minimum with league minimum club options every year for the next 100 years. No incentives or buyouts.

    6 walks per 9 and he was drafted as an OF 8 years ago. Always glad to see a guy reach his dream of the majors, but there must have been an option that wasn’t headed for Indy leagues or a new career.

        The 40 man isn’t the issue. It’s the 26. wandy goes to IL most likely.

          You’re right LTC, I wasn’t thinking 26, and then you are more than likely correct about Wandy, too!

      Enyel is out of options I believe so they can’t send him to El Paso without him clearing waivers + his consent. Could be wrong tho!

      Only because the schedule for the next couple weeks allows the team to not use the #5 starter. Mazur would still be there otherwise.

    Was going to ask if he had gained more control since leaving the Marlins. Then I read the article and realized he hasn’t. Kid is scary. Can touch triple digits but can’t find the plate with a seeing-eye dog.
