Baseball Player News: Jose Reyes (SS), NYM
By: James Meyerriecks

News: Reyes continued his torrid June Saturday, going 4-for-5 with a triple and a stolen base in the Mets' 7-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. This was Reyes' third four-hit game during his current twelve game hit streak (which included his cycle Wednesday night), which has included ten multi-hit games. Over the course of the streak, Reyes has raised his batting average from .246 to .294, and he's currently pushing a .360 OBP.

Views: Despite all of this recent hot streak activity and what it's done to his average and OBP, the most important thing about Reyes is that he's already matched last season's home run total and is slugging over .480 at this point in the season. He's truly emerging into one of the biggest five-tool superstars in the league at a very thin position, and is clearly the top SS in the National League right now (he may still have a little work to do catching Miguel Tejada and Michael Young in the AL). Needless to say, I'm kicking myself for dealing him in a keeper league earlier this season........

Calling this streak a hot streak is vast understatement. The monster, my friends, is out of the cage. 13 straight games with a hit. 11 of them multi-hit games. Hitting over .600 during the streak. Raising his average 56 points during the streak. Wow.
